Re:So is Landis done?

The sad truth is that there are riders that are tested every week that pass with flying colors. I've escorted a couple to be tested, and rather than be pissed off about the trouble, were glad to go through it for themselves and the sport. Of course these riders didn't have the resources to attempt to blind testing, nor the resources to fight the testing results at such a high level. Up to the last few years, pro cycling among the elite had both.

I thought it was interesting that Landis drew little support by the peloton, but now it seems that many riders are actually standing up and supporting the testing to prove they are clean. I don't think they would take this stand if they considered the testing bogus since they could be next.

I never thought cycling could be a clean sport. Maybe I was wrong. I hope so.
