French Railroad coming thru.....

If you dont know who Floyd Landis is, stop reading now, unless you like Inspector Clueso (sp?) movies. I think the old Inspector would be much more adept at handling the whole Floyd Landis situation that anyone currently involved. From changing rules to fit their needs, to righteous indignation, to a crusader win at all cost mentality, to men actiong like 11 year old boys who are left out of a game and then do everything they can to drag everyone else down with them. I work in an industry that has mandatory hiring drug testing and monthly random drug teesting in effect to protect those who operate our equipment and those who share the road with them. If the companies we dealt with treated our business like the French LNDD lab, USADA, and the arbitration board has handled Floyd, there would not be a single truck driver available to haul a load anywhere in the United States. The negligence involved in leaked results, mishandled "re-testing", policy neglect, rules infractions, and personal rights violations is incredible and would make most people give up and move on to another way of life. But they have picked on someone in Floyd who is physically tough (broken hip and all) and mentally tough enough to win the Tour de France and if he were the type of person to roll over and give up he would never have even started the toughest race in the world to begin with. I am glad that they are holding these hearings publicly so that the light of truth will shine on all the dark dusky corners of this sordid affair. I am all for playing fair and having a drug free sport, but I am not in favor or fever pitched win at any and all cost mentalities of the people in charge of protecting a safe and equal sport.
