Is Landis guilty?

So Floyd Landis gets to hear on Monday if his appeal has been successful. I’ve not read “Positively False: The real story of how I won the Tour de France”, Landis’ own story of the events, but somehow I just can’t seem to believe him anyway.

Initially, when it was first revealed he’d used testosterone the day before his mega stage I was sceptical. One could suggest there were lab errors, or even tampering, with the sample – there were quite a few cockups revealed to suggest this. But at the same time, there was rather a lot of evidence pointing towards his guilt, and I’ve got to admit, in my eyes at least, the case for having used ‘something’ to pep him up is considerably stronger than one against.

I bet he is guilty ;)

As much as I’m not a fan of Cadel Evans (when does he ever do anything ‘exciting’, really? He’s a whiny wheel sucker, and that makes for boring viewing) my money is on him for the win this year. He just looks the strongest, and will probably follow the right wheels, then cane his competitors in the time trial. *snore*
