Landis... new info not good

#1 08-01-2006, 11:10 AM

Tests performed on the cyclist Floyd Landis’s initial urine sample showed that some of the testosterone in his body had come from an external source and was not produced by his system, according to a person at the International Cycling Union with knowledge of the results.

Dammit to hell. Saturday will tell us about the B sample but this is not good news. Hope the guy is wrong.

I am in the "We" and really hope the guy is gulilty so this sport loses even more credibility. The fact that the Tour De France takes up space on ESPN Sports Center pisses me off. Let these lunatics climb all the mountains they want and do all the drugs they want. Who the hell cares. Just please no coverage on Sports Center.

Yeah....thank god for cycling, darts, poker, soccer...without that crap on ESPN, I might feel I was the only person in the world without a life! Congrats to Red Sox fans by the way...Ortiz may win the pennant single-handedly!

Gander · #9 08-01-2006, 01:21 PM

Ortiz is the best thing thats happened to Boston since Yaz.

I was in a pub the other night and swore that Rock Paper Scissors was on on ESPN..and Ortiz is doing a fine job, long may it continue!

and regarding Landis, still think that his effort looked way too good to be true!

Ahhh the great athletes of baseball. The only team sport that a player that can barely run is of value. Go Barry, chase those balls down sport. What a joke. He is an OUTFIELDER. Baseball fat guys and beer.

Gander · #12 08-01-2006, 03:23 PM

Barry is no more a joke than Landis. Only difference is people cared about Barry at one point. Nobody really gives a rat ass about cyclists.

Only time the sport makes headlines is when drugs are involved. Its an utter mess.

Actually, some of us do appreciate cycling. It is a godawfully difficult task to huff your way up the back side of Madison in Seattle, let alone get through a stage of the TdeF...I personally find baseball boring, but if you like it, that's cool. Leave my bikes alone.

I dont care about Barry's rhoids. He cannot run yet he still can play OUTFIELD? How does that happen?

Gander · #15 08-01-2006, 03:56 PM

I dont think many care about Barry anymore Pgard. That was my point in another thread. As much as we talk baseball on here, his name seldom comes up.

Sorry about the cycling bashing. I like riding my bike, just find the guys on TV to be boring. But different strokes for different folks.

I know many people who are bored with baseball, and thats very understandable.

And Pgard, for the 100th time, I dont remember anyone ever saying baseball players (in general) were anywhere close to "great athletes". Just not sure why that matters.

Wait a minute now.Try again about the baseball players not being athletes.Maybe you can say that about some pitchers,but any good hitter has to have incredible eye-hand coordination.Try looking at some of the break these pitches have on them,and you must realize how good they are to be able to hit a pitch that breaks that hard.If you can hit both fastballs,and breaking balls(especially sliders)etc.,then you are an athlete.Try that split finger fastball that Haren was throwing last night.Good luck trying to hit that.

Hey Scuds,

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, theres vomit on his sweater, mom's spaghetti. Hes nervous, everybodys choking now. but on the surface he looks calm and ready. Dont waste this, it may be the only motherfukcing opportunity you get. Lose yousrelf in the moment, the music."
