"Landis Says He Saw Lance Armstrong Use Drugs" - Do you Believe Him?
Just read an article that Landis is now saying he actually witnessed Lance taking PED's and having blood transfusions. I am curious what the TwoSpoke community thinks about these allegations...Any thoughts on this or the accusations against the other top American riders.

Even with a fresh set of batteries in my credibility meter, I can't get the needle to move at all for Landis. No matter what he says or does, he'll be hard pressed to get anyone to believe him about anything any more.

What I can't figure out is what Landis has to gain by reversing his stance. Most people would say book deal, but no one is going to be a second book from this guy without a full refund for his "I didn't dope" book.

IF the message came from anyone else (LeMond included), I MIGHT actually listen for two seconds then ask for proof.

It is obvious, Floyd Landis is talking about himself, not Lance Armstrong. Because every accusation Floyd Landis makes against Lance Armstrong is a lie.
The only way Floyd Landis(and Greg LeMond for that matter) could restore his credibility, would be to have incontrovertible evidence of collusion between Lance Armstrong and the Tour De France race organizers. But you don't here accusations from Andy/Frank Schleck, Maxime Momfort, Christophe Moreau, Jan Ullrich, or Tom Boonen, just to name a few. Jan Ullrich and Tom Boonen were caught doping in the past so, their own credibility would be shot, had they made the accusations Floyd Landis keeps making.

I'm not sure what to believe but Canseco told on lots of players who all denied and now over the years slowly they have all caved in and admitted guilt.
Regardless what a horrible thing to do. Landis get's caught and then rats out everyone he can to whomever will listen. Utterly disgraceful, what a lame duck.

I'd say it's basically a guarantee, but who cares. Go crazy monkey men on steroids go!

Floyd Landis has about as much credibility as Andrew Breitbart these days........

hey, I'm in Houston too, just noticed that.
yes, Floyd has zero credibility but do you think he's gonna risk going to prison for perjury, lying to federal investigators under oath now? this investigation isn't exactly cheap either.
polygraph them all and be done with it.
and Lance, if found to be a fraud, will trump any and all of Floyd's lies by far, his credibility will fall below zero.
