End of the Line for Floyd Landis

Professional cyclist Floyd Landis decided to call it quits today.  The five year journey trying to get back to the top of cycling is over.

Landis won the 2006 Tour de France with Team Phonak only to be stripped of his title and eventually banned from the sport.

“I've been riding my bike a lot, trying to figure out life, which is the same reason I did it to start with, so I've come full circle. I'll always ride my bike. But I'll never start on a line on a road and try to get to another line on a road faster than another guy. That's over.”

Right now Landis says the sport cannot be fixed, but that isn't his fight.  An investigation in doping allegations against former teammates including Lance Armstrong continues by the people that investing BALCO.

A long fall for an athlete from Lancaster County.

This Story for Lance May Get Worse

A story is starting to brew out of the cycling world of the recent news of Floyd Landis coming clean about using performance enhancing drugs. Reports are that investigation of fraud and conspiracy against cancer survivor Lance Armstrong could now be underway with Armstrong's ex-wife Kristen cooperating with federal investigators.



Armstrong is scheduled to race in the 2010 Tour de France for Team Radioshack and is probably the world's most recognizable cancer survivor.
