Floyd Landis – creepiest drug cheat ever?
Author: AnnKillion | Filed under: UncategorizedFloyd Landis, borrowed a page from Mark McGwire and Marion Jones, but took it to a Jose Canseco-type of level. He felt the need to ease his guilty conscience, just like the other lying drug cheats McGwire and Jones. But he decided to strafe his entire sport in the process, like Canseco.
Landis is quickly becoming the creepiest drug cheat in history. First he came up with the lamest excuse ever after he tested positive at the 2006 Tour de France (shots of Jack Daniels? puh-leeze).
Then he took money (up to a million by some reports) from sympathetic cycling fans for his own legal defense – playing up his nice guy Mennonite background in the process. Way to trample on your family history, Floyd.
Next, in his USADA hearing, it was revealed that his manager tried to blackmail former champion Greg LeMond by threatening to reveal that LeMond was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.
And now, Landis has opened fire on his own sport and every big-name American cyclist in the middle of cycling’s biggest American moment.
Nice timing.
