Landis admits doping, and fingers Armstrong NEW YORK – Disgraced American cyclist Floyd Landis has admitted to systematic use of performance-enhancing drugs and accused seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong of involvement in doping, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for doping but had always denied cheating, sent a series of e-mails to cycling officials and sponsors acknowledging and detailing his long-term use of banned drugs, the newspaper said.
The report said Landis wrote in the e-mails that he started doping in 2002, his first year racing with the U.S. Postal Service team led by Armstrong.
So, do you think he's telling the truth now that Lance Armstrong got him involved in cheating, or is he just sowing his bitter grapes to taint others since he couldn't get away with lying and saying he hadn't doped in the first place?
