Floyd Landis, the only cyclist to lose his Tour de France title due to doping violations, admitted to ESPN.com and The Wall Street Journal that he used performance enhancing drugs throughout his career.

He also claims several other cyclists — including former teammate and seven-time Tour De France champion Lance Armstrong — used performance enhancing drugs and that team managers, owners all knew of the drug use.
