Hmmmm, I guess he was *supposed* to be on the daily show. There's some author on, but the cable guide said Landis. Must be on hold pending the investigation.
Sorry for the false alarm

He was "supposed to be" on a few shows, and out TiVo is dutifully tivo-ing them now (after we missed Larry King!
But he hasn't been on anything. I don't blame him.

Free Floyd blog
http://freefloydlandis.blogspot.com/
from cycle-licious, where I got the link from: (where there's a funny photoshopped pic)
Free Floyd Landis
"Floydinator" by Eric Reagan. Used with permission.
Free Floyd Landis is a blog about Floyd Landis and his testosterone issues by a former amatuer racer who is a big fan of Floyd, but whose "bias in Floyd's favor is offset by the familiarity I developed with performance-enhancing drugs while in high school; I know the abuse of performance-enhancing drugs is far more prevalent than is being reported. Later in life I had a good friend who was advised by his college head coach that if he wanted to make the NFL he should take steroids. He did take steroids, and he did make the NFL. That coach is now a division I coacn at a big sports program. If Floyd used, it wouldn't be shocking. Cycling has been dirty for over two decades."

from the website GEONTZ just gave us:
A World Anti-Doping Agency doctor agreed Thursday something seems amiss, telling an Associated Press medical writer, "Something's missing here. It just doesn't add up." If Landis had been cheating all along, then why wasn't there a positive test earlier in the race? The idea that he could load up effectively between his 16th stage death ride and his 17th stage super-heroics is bunk, the doctor said.

Thanks for the update Mimi....! I'll listen more attentively to a doctor who has knowledge of body chemistry than to a reporter who might just want a "hot" story!

Y'know, there's one angle to the Floyd issue that no seems to have considered. I read an article right after the Tour (which, of course, I can't find now) in which Floyd said he'd been listening to Metallica the morning of the 17th stage. If anything would up someone's testosterone level, it's got to be Metallica!
And, no, I'm not seriously suggesting this as a possibility. Just trying to add some levity to a grave situation.
