Reply #14: Landis was on a Swiss team when he "won" the TDF

so I don't know why the "top of American racing" would put pressure on him.

In his book, False Positive, he points out many inconsistencies with his test data, about which he has legitimate complaints. That said, the whole thing has the ring of the OJ Simpson trial - after it's all over, you sit back and say, "Ehhhhhhh...,". Like OJ, Landis didn't immediately deny the allegations but disappeared, staying holed up in his hotel room for a day or two after the finding. This is not the mark of an innocent man, but one who is working on an alibi.

Lance was known as an arrogant SOB in his earlier days, and all the "evidence" that's come forth against him has been talk. Re: past drug use for both of them, I don't anticipate any revelations. It's been hashed over too many times to elicit interest any more, and the fact is drug testing has been remarkably effective in cycling - there wasn't one positive result at last year's Tour. We've likely seen the worst of it at least for awhile.
