Floyd Landis in Vegas, Redacted

“I’m an Amish pacifist. But if I ever cross paths with Wiggins I’m gonna punch him so hard, he wouldn’t know what the xxxx happened.”

Floyd put on a lot of weight. OTOH Floyd who?....didn't Wiggins retire?

Yeah, thats what I thought. Maybe Floyd is jealous and digging deep and or getting a little paranoid with all his big smoking plans.

Looks like a scene from "The Big Lebowski"...

I'm not a huge fan of Landis, but his impact on professional cycling is arguably net positive.

I used to love these guys.

I read a great article when they were rooming together out in LA. It was right as I was getting back into cycling. Then Floyd had that epic day on that fateful year. I so wanted to believe it was au natural.

sigh.

First Lance, now Floyd. Has Rouleur decided that 2017 is the 'Year of Reforming Dopers'?

While I still think guys who took money from people for the whole "Free Floyd/Tyler/etc" movement suck, at least these guys are out there trying to reinvent themselves and do something different.

Although you are not asking me...good question. I am still grappling with the whole legalizing thing and wondering what are the benefits to it?...and I like to smoke it once in a while but still. I kinda tend to think regarding Floyd that he may like it but it's the new gold rush, think greed$$$

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I am not saying his intentions were noble, or anything. He wanted a job from Lance and when he was rebuked, he went public with a lot of dirty laundry. A lot of it was negative for the sport, but it went a long way to uncovering the truth.... even if it was a truth that many implicitly understood.

Without him, the stuff may have come out anyway. But I think he was atleast a minor catalyst for a lot of it. And, hopefully with the knowledge of what happened, the future for the sport can be brighter.

Don't take my initial comment to mean I think he is an idealistic beacon for the sport.

And that my friends is an interview at a cannibis convention!

Floyd still hasn't returned the funds that were "donated" to him.
If Floyd wants to reinvent himself, he should return all the funds paid to the "Floyd Fairness Fund"

that comment was aimed at Tyler and Floyd, and I fully agree......until he returns all that money he's not clear in my book.
