I didn't realize he wrote a book about not doping... hmmm. I'm still going with Conseco, I really hate that guy.

I wonder how someone can be that bad of a person. Horrible upbringing I guess? Canseco is a wreck, watched a documentary about him, what a person.

Well... Landis wins A-hat of the decade. Soliciting donations? WOW.

Not really. I just read Positively False and Floyd's upbringing was that of the Mennonite community, close to the Amish. Very family oriented (both parents, stay at home mom who cooked for the family and a hard working and upright father, no arguing in the home, four sisters and a brother) and very together, very caring and religious.

Up until about 19 years of age he was pretty much engulfed in only that way of life. I think it was after that, as he got out into the 'real' world so to speak, that his life became confused.

He definitely let a lot of people from his upbringing down.
