What a tool. So he's admitting he's a liar, then throwing his friends under the bus? Who does he expect to believe him?

Guess my copy of "Positively False" is on its way out to the recycling bin...

When all this started, one of the biochemists here on TE said of the results

...so this either means Floyd is a plant or Floyd cheated...*

Well, ladies, it looks like we can finally rule out that he's a plant

I just cannot understand what possesses healthy people to stick needles into their arms and.... ugh...
Why can't people just compete without all the BS?

This really PEEVES me off! I always gave him the benefit of the doubt. I read the book (but didn't pay retail, just in case he DID cheat). He was so convincing. Even Lance stood up for him.

I had wondered what happened to Floyd. He hadn't been around racing this year. Is this for attention? Money? Another book? Blackmail? Why now?

Not the black eye for cycling we need while fighting the cancellation of state funds for the Tour of Missouri.

yeah really. Glad i didn't buy his stupid book. OR read it.

Great timing, too. I bought his book and believed him.

[Triskeliongirl]

That was me

I hate to do the 'I told you so' but I have long given up on the idea that any of these guys are riding clean.

But to me its not just the riders fault, its the fans fault too, and what has become of the sport. They don't blow up those mountains on gu and water.........

Me too.

(HI NANCI!!! )

But you guys know, now I do admire Floyd for speaking out because he is trying to clean up the sport. Better late than never, like the rest of these guys.

OUCH_Bahati is a fairly small team... He was up here in northwest Arkansas the week before last, racing in the Joe Martin Stage Race there.

I bought the book, and pretty much believed it... but apparently even CyclingNews.com and VeloNews have their doubts about the latest story. And there _is_ apparently some sort of book deal in the works here.

[Biciclista]

wow, there was a Nanci sighting!!

Yes, right Trisk. But he came to our town, and looked into all of my friends' eyes and implored them... that makes me pretty mad.

I disagree. Anyone who keeps on lying and lying and lying while asking total strangers to donate money to pay his legal bills deserves nothing. I just feel bad for his mother.

David Millar did it right -- confessed immediately and was one of the first big names to join the first team that was built on an anti-drug policy.

And p.s. if DZ needs drugs then Garmin would be the last team he would want to race for.

I agree. He's gotta be getting a huge paycheck for this. Probably an even better book deal; Poor Little Floyd Tells All. Insider's Guide To TDF Doping.
