Landis finished the Tour with a damaged hip that was replaced shortly afterwards. While no rider has ever competed at that level with an artificial hip Landis was going to try. It is doubtful that a chance to ride the TdF will ever come his way again but he has successfully competed in some marathon MTB competitions with good results.
I'm torn with the whole doping thing. I'm not impressed with Floyd and to be honest I kind of just want him to go away but there's a nagging voice in my head that's whispering that he's getting jobbed and it's fundamentally wrong.
