Floyd Landis 17th in New Zealand road race
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP)—Floyd Landis dropped to 17th on the final day of the Tour of Southland, which included two stages on New Zealand’s South Island.
Landis began Saturday in 14th place, but was 21st among the 95 riders in the 50-mile eighth stage. He finished 1 minute, 12 seconds behind Alabama native Michael Olheiser.
Landis fell further off the pace in the final stage, a 40-mile ride from Winton to Invercargill. He finished the stage in 40th place, 2:51 behind Romain Fondard of France.
After Landis won the 2006 Tour de France, he was disqualified and banned for two years when doping tests revealed elevated levels of testosterone. He returned to racing in January.
The American finished the nine-stage race 16 minutes behind overall winner Heath Blackgrove of New Zealand. Jack Bauer was second overall, 1:03 behind, and Tom Findlay finished another 13 seconds back in third.
Landis’s cyclingnzshop.com-Bio Sport team was 13th of the 21 teams that competed the race.

You are really out of touch with reality.
Your threats are meaningless, there is no truth to them.
Keep ranting, keep lying, keep hating, but beware "They're coming to take you away,ha,ha,hee, hee,
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all day long."
At least there the drugs will be prescribed.
See Ya

Pharmstrong's ex-wife has already been disposed. PEDs cause memory fade. Maybe Frankie Andreu will discuss Lance's EPO and steroid addiction!
Besides Stephen Swartz (Motorola sprinter) already sunk the Lance Pharmstrong myth by outing Lance as a 'huge EPO advocate' in the 90's.
Too funny!

Floyd Landis a DRUG CHEAT without a Nike contract and withour Lance Pharmstrong's cover/support.
Besides all that, Floyd is a creepy freak. Even his friend/father-in-law blew out his own brains.
The media invents the personas that SELL.
Floyd Roid Flandis has become a NO SALE steroid and EPO addict has been.
Doper Michael Phelps inhales thru a KONG BONG.
fyi: Doping apologists for USPO EPO & steroid alums Flandis, Pharmstrong and Hamilton have a LOWER IQ than NFL TV fans.

JohnT: I have a feelin' IT never participated in any team sports. All IT knows is ME ME ME ME ME. Very selfish and bitter toward others who are far more successful and content with their lives. IT clearly has had a troubled past, probably comes from a disfunctional/broken family. IT probably has had psychological assistance but not for some time now. The fact that IT wishes ill will to all names IT mentions clearly shows IT has deep seeded hatred to go along with rage and jealousy. You poor thing.

Have to give it to you.
You are boring, repititive, and unimaginative.
I know 12, 13, and 14 year olds with better minds and better imaginations.
If our ancestors were like you, the invention of the wheel would not have happened, fire, and shelter would be unknown.
It is no wonder that you are jealous of Lance Armstrong and the way cycling has changed because of him and the use of technology in the sport of cycling.
IT=ANCIENT cycling has forgotten you and the glory of the past has faded.
IT=POWERLESS you are not a figure of strength, you are weak and helpless.
IT=FRUSTRATION your attacks on Lance Armstrong are ineffective. Posters see you as nothing
but thousands of words without meaning and saying nothing & yet you keep increasing your
mindless posts.
IT=NO CLASS, NO RESPECT you are pitiful in your hate for Lance Armstrong & you are miserable
because you are not Lance Armstrong.
Still no word on my college soccer team. The game should be over by now, but no news.

I am sorry to hear that Lance's ex-wife is disposed. I hope she feels better.
I am POSITIVE that her deposition will not reflect badly on LANCE.
I hope that you have a nice day and eat well. A balanced diet and regular exercise can keep IT
regular.
When you get to the retirement home, keep your mind active to prevent dementia and early onset
of Alzheimer's disease.
If you think that I am showing you a lack of respect, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!

I think you have lost touch with reality. Please don't harm yourself or anyone else.
IT you couldn't keep up with my club runners. We'd take you on a HASH run and lose you before the first mark.
I think the largest bike start that I have been is was a little over 1,000 with staggered start times.
One of my goals is to cycle 200 miles on a ride. I don't ride in a Velodrome. Thank's for the interest.
PS I have a Lemond Bike, I wanted a TREK, but the shop didn't carry TREK. I bought the Lemond since is was manufactured by TREK.

IT=Lemond vs Trek will put Armstrong in the spotlight. Lemond's life has been pretty much a train
wreck since 2000 when Trek cut him loose. They don't even manufacture his bike anymore.
IT=I don't think the deposition of his first wife will hurt Lance at all. The tactics Lemond's lawyers used to lure her to the deposition were misleading, dirty,and underhanded. That's what lawyers do.
IT=GONE LONG BEFORE MARCH 2010. MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY, ANONYMOUS. VERY, VERY
INTERESTING. LA will see this post.
