Why Floyd must lie if he's guilty.

From Floyd's website:

Let's say he's guilty. If he tells the truth, he, and all those that support him and depend on him are cooked for sure.

On the other hand, if he claims he's innocent, he still has a chance of getting off on a technicality. Okay, so it didn't work for Tyler, but it has worked for others.

Besides, if he tells the truth, the whole truth, exposing everyone who is involved, and exposing the truth about the pervasive use of doping in the peloton, then he can expect the same treatment from Armstrong et al that they gave Simeoni for telling the truth...
