Time to pay the price.
Quite. When the bodies and honest careers began to pile up beneath the bus, that's when you have to take notice and begin demanding accountability, even exact some punishment. It's an age old human drama I liken to a pendulum - swinging back and forth between the black and white of right and wrong.
When I met Floyd Landis atop a local climb a few months back, I took a picture with him and one of his riding companions, who was the one who invited me to pose with them. I said, "Pose with a TDF winner? Absolutely!" When they guffawed and snorted at that, I said, "That's right. You heard me." My regard for Floyd climbs higher and higher with every denial by LA and his hacks.
