Astonishingly – In the developing saga of Floyd Landis, He has been invited to a conference at the world cycling championships to discuss doping.
The organiser defended his action by saying they wanted an inclusive and no holds barred discussion.
I have to question his inclusion.
The only thing you can be CERTAIN of with Landis is the Man is a liar and self confessed cheat.
Having given two opposing sets of testimony, the ONLY thing you can be certain of is that he lied - what you cannot be sure of is which version of the “truth” is false, or indeed whether BOTH versions are “economical with the truth”
It seems in remarkably poor taste. At very least they should allow the federal US saga to play out to see whether he is further lambasted by federal sources too.
No doubt he will use the platform for further smearing of all and sundry.
I cannot agree more – had he held his hands up on the first day, been sufficiently contrite and then served the ban, the sport would have to accept his inclusion. But surely the attempt to cover up and lie, should make him persona non grata, at very least for bringing the sport into disrepute
