I may be naive but the credibility of accusations against Lance are debatable. He's kept a sample of his blood on ice for every year of the Tour De France to refute any such allegations. Unlike so many other athletes he is pursuing litigation in response to the accusations regarding steroid use and the possibility of slander. They argue he has a the perfect heart and cardiovascular system for exchanging oxygen throughout his system. As for Floyd Landis I sincerely hope not. Like one of your other answers alluded to I don't want Americans known as dishonest in their ventures. His win was 14 years of hard work and determination he's an interesting fellow but based on his initial response I suspect he isn't innocent. One more nail in the coffin of American credibility, we don't need another Tyler Hamilton.

Yes I do. I think all of this is a bunch of crap. They are so determined to pin something like this on someone that they can't even see straight. They almost ruined the Tour as it is by making it so Ullrich, Basso et all were not allowed to race. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I hope so cause I dont want America to be hated for our cyclists too. Im tired of all these cyclists taking drugs. Im in France right now and I heard Lance took some when they were legal during the race, they cant pin it on him since its legal but he did test positive, it kind of ridiculous.

Yes, Floyd is innocent.

No!
He just the last in the long line of doped Tour-winners.
I doubt that any professional biker is running solely on noodles and energy-bars.

he has been ACCUSED. he has not yet been CONVICTED. he maintains that he is INNOCENT. he says further testing will PROOVE his innocence. lets not CONDEMN him yet - at least not until he is proven GUILTY. I suspect that many careers have been wrecked by people jumping to reaction after an accusation that was later not proven to be true.

What's so admirable about taking steroids?! Steroids can be a potentially dangerous addiction.

Somehow I don't think he is.
No matter.
He still worked his tail off on that Tour !

I think he's guilty. Cycling is full of doping.
