MacD BengalFan Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 That is great considering what he has been through. Here's to you Floyd Landis!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Yeah, gotta love the American's grabbing the Tour again after Lance retired !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacD BengalFan Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I am waiting for the French Press to release an article in coming weeks stating that Landis was on a banned substance during the race. You know how jealous the French are that thier event is has been won but a U.S. rider 11 times in the last 15 years (I think that is right). They will do anything to discredit a U.S. rider.

I was a professional cyclist from 93-99...known Floyd since he was 17, he was a Pro MTB racer from 95-99 and rode for my Team Chevy Trucks MTB squad in 98-99...I was the one who pushed him to ride on the road in 1999. We had a condo in SD back then.he ws in Cincy when the town hosted the USCF National Championship Road Race. It was his 5th or 6th road race ever and he got 7th. I was 13th.Here is the old results listing...http://w3.iac.net/~curta/qcw/nats/results98/rr.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 People are overreacting. The issue is his ratio of the 2 types of testosterone in his body is wacked, probably from his drugs to help his hip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalboomer7 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 There's a ton of misinformation out there as to the results of his test. This may end up making me a Florio turd, but for some reason, I really believe the guy.I vote we send the Statue of Liberty back to France and tell them to shove it up their ass!!

kingwilly Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 This will all get resolved but not before the smear media tarnishes the F out of his victroy...what a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacD BengalFan Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 It is not looking good for your buddy as the New York Times is reporting the test revealed a synthetic testosterone was in the first sample. I hope that this is an anomaly and things will be cleared up with sample B on Saturday.If you talk to him anytime soon, tell him that we are all pulling for him and hoping this works out is his favor.
