Absolutely. When it becomes more profitable to confess than to continue to deny, confession becomes a business decision.Originally Posted by Nanci

You one-upped me in the cynic department...although I don't at all disagree with your assessment. Originally Posted by kenyonchris

And bikesnob nyc has a nice overview of the whole Landis affair:

I like Bikesnob's suggestion that Landis truly redeem himself by returning all the money. The whole thing sickens me. Honor has been left on the roadside.

wow. I believed him.
It makes me cranky all these athletes who vehemently deny doping for years, then come clean to clear their consciences. If they really wanted to do that, they would have come clean right away.
And I'm probably going to go down with the ship, but I just can't believe Lance doped.
I know it happens. I know it's real.
It's just sad...

Loved NY Biker's links. I was so upset about the whole doping thing and went off on an impassioned rant. I totally apologize. After reading the Bike Snob's take and then all the posts after, I just started laughing. Those 'roid boys do talk smack.
Got my perspective back. The world goes on.
I think I was too quick to give Landis credit for 'fessing. Guess my brain was trying to figure some purity here somewhere. Forget that.
Think I'm gonna go play with my pretty new bike and forget all the nasty stuff.
