By the way, the lab results should have convinced you, not his admittance of guilt. To all of you who would prefer a confession system instead of a lab system, I suggest you watch football or baseball. Cycling is serious about cleaning up. The fans, especially the French demand it. Everytime a cyclist gets caught, I love it. All the clean atheletes have a better chance at winning as a result.

@acad2kman, There is Floyd's admittance to guilt that he is a doper. I'm sorry that you were mislead by him of his innocence and hopefully you were not one of the innocent people who donated to his obvious fraudulent plea of innocence.

@chris1975, he has now finally admitted his guilt and deception. So there's the evidence I guess.

@chris1975 - You are assuming he is guilty, just because a flawed test and an unreliable lab says so. You would have a different opinion if you were the one accused. There is NO EVIDENCE that Floyd Landis is guilty of anything.

In sports, you often see people resist believing that their atheletes are not doping and it is amazing to see how Floyd tested positive and yet people still believe he is innocent based on his "personality". As if his faith or his family life should affect the drug test.

Thank you guys very much. You have no idea what that means to me to be here in in front of what I hope are cycling fans. That will make the questions easier. I don't know if you guys have been watching the Tour De France, the last week or so. But good, I am glad. I feel for the guys who are there, because they have done the work to get there. They have put 10 or 15 years of training into it. And unfortunately this year, more than in any year in the past have been asked to answer questions about doping and things like that rather than being given the respect and the credit that they deserve for the work it takes to get there. So keep watching them, I am watching. I am a cycling fan as well and I don't know what's going to happen but I hope it's equally as exciting as it usually is. The reason I wrote the book was because most American sports fans unless you are as obsessed with cycling as I am and you may be, they don't know a whole lot about me or where I came from or the sport itself and the tactics and a lot of aspects of it. They know about the Tour De France last year. They know about the doping allegations following that and I have no idea what that was. But but they don't know a whole lot of they don't have any other perspective on things apart from just a small slice of my life and I think it's giving a bad image to cycling. And I hope that with the resolution of this case and with the book that we can get back to what people appreciate about cycling and I was starting to pay attention more to why does the people enjoy it and enjoy watching it? It's something that you can do at any age. You can get involved in it at any age. And you can improve for many, many years and it's a rewarding thing, it's a social thing. You meet all kinds of people, you get to see things and places and it's a healthy thing to do and I hope that more people in the future will get involved in it. But any way I am here tonight to say hi to you guys because I do believe that most of you are cycling fans not quite that naÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¯ve. And most of the time I when we have a reasonably sized group, I like to answer questions because I am sure that most of you want to know more details over about what might be in the book or something that I failed to mention or something that just didn't come across in the press in the last year. So rather than go on too long about something that will be easily learnt in the book I think I will subject myself to whatever questions you might have. Yeah go ahead.
