Mellow Yellow

Floyd Landis, the soft-spoken guy from PA, is now the third U.S. rider to win the Tour de France. He pulled out the impossible on Stage 17 and recovered almost 8 minutes that he lost the previous day on Stage 16. He finished the job on Saturday's TT and made believers out of everyone (including Lance). Nice guys do finish first!
EDIT: On July 27th, the UCI confirmed there was an unusual level of Testosteron/Epitestosteron ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France. If sample B comes back positive, we'll have a new winner of the TDF. No matter the final outcome, the damage has been done.
EDIT II: Sample B came back positive and Floyd has been dismissed by his team. It's over. This is a sad day for the sport and for U.S. cycling. There will be more days like this until the teams and athletes decide that doping isn't worth it.
