Dude, I really enjoyed watching you ride in this year’s Tour de France. Really. Left for dead after blowing up in Stage 16. Having a comeback that everyone knew had to come in Stage 17, but still nobody could hang with you on the brutal day of climbing. Now the two postive drug tests. And the multitude of excuses; everything short of “the dog peed in the cup”. This is sad.
You say you passed the other drug tests, but those results somehow haven’t been made public. I really, really want to believe that you did all this clean. But it’s just not happening. I can’t feel it in my gut that you rode clean.
It’s not your fault, though. The entire sport of cycling is dirty. At least cycling, as a sport, has the balls to admit that there’s a problem. And they’re doing something about it. Not like baseball (by the way, Bud Selig is an idiot).
Floyd, it would probably be in your best interests to keep a low profile until the investigation is complete. Stop talking to the media. Have the hip replacement and recover.
