Below is our Guide
to Live Coverage of the Vuelta a Espana
Landis and the Tour de France
(cyclingfans.com) - Is Floyd Landis innocent?
I'll say yes...
Okay, bad joke. (Last year, when a journalist asked Landis
if he had ever used performance-enhancing drugs, he responded "I'll say
no.")
Floyd Landis asked us all to be patient while he set out to
prove his innocence. Patient we were but now the verdict is in:
Floyd Landis doped on his way to winning the 2006 Tour
de France. Floyd may or may not appeal the decision but
we have a positive finding that has been upheld.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has already moved
to name runner-up, Oscar Pereiro, the 2006 Tour champion.
Floyd Landis will be erased from the history books, the only time
in history a Tour winner has actually been stripped of his title for
a failed drug test.
Not everyone is happy with the idea of completely erasing
Landis from the history books.
Cycling great Eddy Merckx said last year that should
Landis be found guilty he should remain as winner but with an asterisk
attached to his name.
Philippe Brunel, a veteran cycling journalist for
L'Equipe, the French sports daily, when asked last year on
L'Equipe TV who should be declared the winner of the 2006 Tour, showed
little faith in Oscar Pereiro by responding "Floyd Pereiro."
Merckx and Brunel of course know about cycling's long history
of doping.
Officials at Tour organizer Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O.)
always have a public and a private position on such subjects.
The public position of course is that they knew all along
that Landis was guilty and that he should indeed be removed from the
record books. The private position? "It was a beautiful
race, Landis showed panache, what a shame he got caught."
Landis faces serving the time remaining on his two-year ban,
and there can be no other way short of an unexpected successful appeal
to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. You dope, you get caught,
you serve your sentence.
Who knows how long an appeal would take anyway and there is
of course the expense. I'm betting Floyd will forgo an appeal
and take care of his family while he considers a comeback.
As to what the record books should show, whether one agrees
with Merckx, with Brunel, with one of ASO's positions, or some other
position, is up to each of us to decide.

Note: The AFP erred in its
report today announcing a cycling summit. It is in fact
not a summit separate from the previously announced "doping in
cycling" summit to be hosted October 22-23 by the French government.
News flash: Grand
Tours announce summit to discuss future of cycling
(cyclingfans.com) - Organizers of the Tours
of France, Italy and Spain and national federations of France,
Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, and Luxembourg announced today
they will hold participate in a summit
on October 22-23 to discuss the future of cycling. (source:
Agence France-Press)
Upcoming dates of interest:
October 22-23: Summit hosted by the French Ministry of
Sport to discuss the problem of "doping in cycling"
October 23: Summit hosted by Grand Tours and
six federations to discuss future of cycling
October 25: 2008 Tour de France route presentation hosted
by Tour organizer Amaury Sport Organization
November: Election of Dick Pound's successor at the World
Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
This year's Tour de France route presentation
will be particularly watched because A.S.O. has "threatened"
to return to inviting some national teams to the Tour, possibly
as early as 2008. Though A.S.O. may not play its hand in October,
it will look, as it always does, to send some strong messages.
Today is the second and final rest day
of the 2007 Vuelta a Espana.

" What's the upcoming doping summit all about?
"Jean-François Lamour is as entertaining as watching
paint dry on a snail.")
The
cyclingfans.com Team Slipstream blog.
Slipstream will be THE American team in the European peloton
in 2008 and blogger April is already on the beat covering
the team's fantastic results so far at the inaugural Tour
of Missouri: (" Will Frischkorn stayed in 2nd
place in the GC, just 1.40 behind race leader George Hincapie.
Steven Cozza retained the lead in the
Best Young Rider, and Huub Duyn is still in 2nd
place. In the Team classification, Slipstream
is still leading, with over 11 minutes on Discovery
Channel.")

Milk Race, the Kellogg's Tour and
the Pru Tour of Britain, was re-launched
in 2004 after an absence of five years. Organizers hope
the new Tour of Britain, like the Tour de France with no title
sponsor, will be sustainable with public and private sector support.
May this race be around for many years! Contributing
photographer David O'Nyons has been covering portions
of the event this week. You can view his superb work at
www.sports-pictorial.com
