If the as yet unnamed rider who tested positive at the Tour is Landis then I'll....I don't know what, please say it's not! At the very least I'll record over the VHS of his great escape to Morzine. I watched the entire stage live and was elated to see him pull it off as was my cycling mate and even my mate who has no interest in cycling.
I feel like giving up on watching pro cycling but I have loved the Tour since the first one I watched in 1987. Increasingly I feel that the only true heroes in cycling are the amateurs, guys and gals like you and me who spend our spare time and money on the sport.
As Tyler said, believe! Just make sure to believe in yourself and not those you can't trust.
The UCI statement said the rider, his team, national federation and national anti-doping agency have all been contacted in light of the test results. The Associated Press quoted USA Cycling spokesman Andy Lee as saying had the organization had not been contacted by the UCI, indicating that the rider involved isn't Landis. VeloNews's efforts to reach USA Cycling CEO Steve Johnson, who is attending world BMX championships in Brazil, were unsuccessful. A spokesman for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency declined to comment on the Tour case or any other pending matters appearing before the agency.
