In case you didn’t hear it yet, Floyd Landis admits to the Wall Street Journal that he took performance enhancing drugs beginning in 2002. CNN.com has a good article, as does the WSJ (subscription may be required).

Not content to simply clear his own conscience, Landis accuses Lance Armstrong and other current cyclists of doping as well. Landis says he spent up to $90K a year on drugs and has used up the entire $1M plus that he raised for his defense against doping allegations following his Tour de France victory. Of course Floyd says on that particular occasion he actually wasn’t using testosterone (though he had in the past) but why would you believe a doper?

I guess that whole Floyd vs. Lance showdown at the Leadville 100 is finally off the table once and for all. 🙂
