If he's up for it, I'm looking forward to seeing Floyd and Lance back in the tour. If either gets onto the podium, what would Greg say? One can only hope a micraphone will be handy.

I read his book, and it seems clear that WADA's only intent, after erroneously rushing to judgement based on flawed lab procedures, was to protect its own ass. Floyd's life and career have been destroyed, rather than elevated by his phenomenal success on the TDF. The recent denial of his appeal is is one of the most tragic events in sports history. The TDF is first and foremost a money maker in Europe. It seems to me that the TDF organizers are more concerned about growing USA domination, and losing European interest, than they are about international cycling performance. Lance and Floyd kicked everyone's ass, end of story. Levi would have been a contender, but they axed him too. A big fuck you to the TDF and Dick-head Pound. I'm not watching this year. Maybe never again. I want to thank you for writing this commentary on Landis.

I knew I said that, I knew that your compliment was genuine. I wasn't being the least bit sarcastic with my response - in fact I was simply and sincerely appreciative that someone "got" what I was saying and realized the truth in my words. No harm, no foul, no apology necessary. Thanks for Reading! Oliver Jon, there was no confusion at all. I knew I said that, I knew that your compliment was genuine.

The paragraph is in quotations, the author is YOU. You made the comment on topix.net last July, I merely quoted YOU. We have never met and I have never raced against LeMond. But I agree with your assessment of LeMond. I wanted more historical information that supports your assertion that LeMond may have used performance enhancement. I am extremely interested in your Landis article. Please forgive me for the confusion I may have caused you. Jon Oliver,
