Video Friday: Floyd Landis
On Stage 17 of last year's Tour de France, Floyd Landis made an amazing come back by gaining 8 minutes on the leader, (most of which he lost the day before when he bonked) putting him in postition to win the Tour. However, we know that afterward, the French botched a drug test on a questionable urine sample that subsequently caused Floyd to be banned from cycling.
I suppose as Americans, we live for the come-back story, a rise to victory. It's easy for us to assume that Landis is innocent. With all the uncertainty surrounding the circumstance, it's hard not to think the French were not pissed off (pun intended) at being beaten by another american. (The US has had a corner on the Tour for years because of Lance Armstrong.)
I think what is happening is unfair to Landis, but I don't care enough to send money.
