Floyd Landis is a nobhead. He may be hard done by having to change the team name at the T of Utah but I honestly don't care.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/floyd-landis-tour-of-utah-demand-that-team-change-name-was-personal/

"I was back in Utah in 2009, I think, and I stayed with Greg Miller and his family," Landis said. "From what I understand he's told people, 'Floyd looked me in the eye and told me he didn't dope.' So maybe he's still bitter about that. But if that's the type of thing that gets you worked up, maybe cycling isn't the sport for you."

If you're a proven liar, computer hacker, cheating bastard, taker of public money under false pretences...

...then maybe cycling isn't the sport for you. farking hypocrite.

He has already retired - twice - so that is a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted! :whistle:

Mind you, he has now lost his commentator job according to Wikipedia.

Was he still making any appearance money from UCIWT Gran Fondos and the like? Might as well stop that.

I see he quit (so he wasn't questioned by other reporters at the Giro?) rather than RAI actually fire him. RAI Sport's boss reportedly still backed him. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pet...uci-accuse-him-of-potential-doping-violation/

Are RAI part of the problem, or is it right they wait for a ruling?

And now we have virtual doping. Bit of a tortuous read this one, but Cameron Jeffers who won the British eRacing Champs earlier this year has been stripped of his title.

He didn't do anything wrong in the race itself, but falsely built up ride time in Zwift to obtain the bike he used in the race. It's potentially a bit odd given that Zwift gave the bike to some racers without them having "earned" it.

What I thought was interesting is that he gets a 6 month ban from racing which covers real world racing.
