I guess this will be the last stand for Landis. If he is really as guilty as he seems to be, or as guilty as Ulrich and Basso are, perhaps this bogus sport will finally just get flushed from the sports world consciousness. There's little enough interest as it is now in the USA, and IMO, it can just go quietly away. LA was a great symbol and does great work now as a Cancer advocate, but for me, he's just another Barry Bonds, but with a better agenda outside his sport.
I watched commentary last year and the consensus among many sports medicene experts that to perform at the level that the current winners and high finishers do, it is almost impossible to do it WITHOUT doping. I know many of you will do great TDF class profiles, but for me, no way. It just legitimizes a bogus activity and an event that has been hijacked by cheating.
