I was a big supporter two weeks ago but now we find out he may have cheated. I don't really follow cycling but his stage 17 comback was something special. I was proud and felt good that an American had taken the tour once again- now i dont know how to feel about him, want to give him a chance

This situation makes me feel very uneasy. Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone and I don't trust the science on this one. He claims this is his natural level and I haven't seen anything in the paper that can disprove what he claims. Anyone "may have cheated". The officials need to be absolutely sure before tainting his whole career.

Very disappointing! I was pulling for him throughout the "Tour". I guess my overall opinion about sports in general has dropped a great deal. It tells me that if you want to win or be the best, you have to cheat. Can't imagine why, after two fool proof tests Landis keeps denying he didn't take drugs. I've been watching the "Tour" for several years now but I doubt that I will watch it anymore.

I would like to see a system where multiple samples were submitted to different testing labs. There have been some questions with this lab in the past in the case of Lance Armstrong. If the sport is to be cleaned up, they need to start testing every rider at every stage race. They need to keep samples for x years to test for new stuff that has not been discovered yet. If people get caught, bust them hard.

I bet Lance just shook his head in disgust. What Mr. Armstrong brought to the sport was amazing. Now this turd Landis set it back 10 years. Landis, was probably born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had every bike paid for, no real challenges in his life. No, he does not deserve another chance, he already had one.

He made a big mistake and he has to face what's coming but I hope he can come back and try again so we can see how good he is.

I think he is a talented cyclist who made a really dumb mistake and is now being punished for it.
