On my way back from Colorado I picked up the magazine Road to read on the plane ride. The couple of times I've picked up this mag it seemed to be an advertisement for whoever provided bikes to review, without much real meat. The magazine seems to have improved slightly with some interesting training articles and interviews, but still includes a lot of advertising/review type articles. This month they included an interview with Floyd Landis and members of his defense team. It seemed to be a propaganda type piece for Floyd, but did provide some insight into his battle. While I would love to believe he is innocent, my head tells me that when half of the Phonak squad was busted for doping over the teams history that Floyd was most likely cheating. The big problem I see is that it seems that Floyd is not getting a fair chance to defend himself. He has requested documentation and testing data from the USADA and has been told that they do not have to provide him with any of this information. He may guilty, but doesn't he deserve a fair trial? Any way, this blog has a lot of interesting information on his case:
