Caution: PED Crossing

Floyd Landis has finally admitted that he took performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) during the 2006 Tour De France. Actually, he admitted taking them for most of his cycling career. Always cycling...

Like many others before him, Landis is now accusing Lance Armstrong of abusing PEDs. Poor Lance. Seems like everyone is out to get him!

First, Greg LeMond wondered how clean Armstrong was back in 2004. In 2008, Armstrong strangely interrupted LeMond during a press conference about new testing procedures. LeMond's simply jealous.

In 2005, A French newspaper reported that Armstrong's 1999 urine samples were retested and found to contain illegal substances. Lance still disputes the findings. Science isn't perfect.

In June of 2007, David Walsh released a book accusing Armstrong of doping. Lance has made it known that he and Walsh don't get along. Ah ha! That explains why he wrote the book!

In March of 2009, the French anti-doping agency again levied accusations against Lance for violating the protocol for testing. When they showed up to randomly test him, Lance promptly took a shower and waited several minutes before submitting to the urine test (out of the tester's sight). When the pizza man shows up to deliver my pizza, I do the same thing before I give him his money. Uggh?

I don't know if Lance Armstrong cheated his way to 7 Tour De France titles.

Because unless you have video evidence--in Lance's world--you can't prove anything. If a video ever does surface,go ahead and assume it had to be professionally doctored...
