VISALIA, Calif. — After four years of maintaining his innocence about doping charges that ruined his reputation and caused him to be stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title, the American cyclist Floyd Landis has sent e-mail messages to several cycling officials in the United States and in Europe in which he admits using performance-enhancing drugs for most of his career.

Two of those officials said that Landis’s messages provided a detailed description of doping that began in 2002, Landis’s first year alongside then-teammate Lance Armstrong. Both were riding for the successful but now-defunct United States Postal Service team. The two officials who received the e-mail did not want their names published, citing ongoing investigations, including by federal authorities, into the content of the e-mail.

In the messages, which were first reported by The Wall Street Journal, Landis accused other top American cyclists on the Postal Service team, including Armstrong, of using performance-enhancing drugs and methods. Other cyclists named were current United States road racing national champion George Hincapie, three-time Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer and five-time United States time trial champion David Zabriskie.

Is it bad I thought the same thing

I call here.

That dude changed his story so many times its ridiculous. He's been out of top level of the sport for years, his wife left him, he's broke, and now all he is trying to do is make a buck off of his new story.


Oh, and Sly wins for worst topic title ever...or best ever, depending on your maturity level.

You guys are brutal.

Not gonna lie, I've been thinking along the same lines...but I figured I'd let someone else say it first

Glad to know that I'm not the only one whose sense of humor hasn't changed since middle school.

makes me laugh every time i click on Non-LU Sports

you guys have such dirty minds...Landis pretty much burned every bridge he had in cycling with this "admission" of his
