Humanity is ripping itself apart at the seams

Barry Bonds, yes. Obviously. Jason Giambi? Of course. Palmeiro. Whatever.

But Floyd? Floyd Landis? Say it ain’t fucking so.

Apparently, our boy did a little bit of the blood doping and failed a test during the Tour. He still has a chance to provide a “B” sample, whatever that is, and clear his name … but man. If that second sample doesn’t help him, he’s royally effed.

Come on Floyd! Your name is Floyd! You drink beer! You’re not supposed to buy into the whole superhuman must win at all costs bit, man. Damnit.

By the way, you have to think this kind of clears Lance from a fair amount of suspicion. I mean, they’ve been going after him for what, 8 years now? It took Floyd about a week to fuck up. If Lance was doping and got away with it for that long, that’s some James Bond-type shit right there. At this point, a political career could be well within reach.

(By the way, I hope you noticed the category - “We Recommend.” There’s really nothing else to file this under without starting a “Cylcing” or “Blood-Doping” category. But kids, we don’t endorse blood doping. That shit is not cool.

Also, apparently, this was not blood-doping per se, but rather testosterone use. It’s all the same to me, but just clearing it up.)
