Floyd landis comments and lance armstrong 2009 comeback eventually led to armstrong confession, Doping allegations faced cancer survivor and all American hero Lance Armstrong for many years. He fought through and denied, denied, denied, much of the public stood by him. The people around him surely were just jealous, trying to bring a real hero down! Sadly in this case that certainly was not the outcome.
The once tall standing figure that summoned everything that was good about the human spirit turned out to be a liar. Sure he was an amazing cyclist, maybe the best in the world at his events even without doping. However the fact is not only did he dope, he brought down people who had the courage to speak out about it. He was a lying, competitive bully and this all came flying out.
Floyd Landis came out in 2010 about his own doping. The fact that he came out means that in many ways he got a smoother ride. In 2009 Armstrong had also made a comeback to the Tour De France and Landis had made accusations against Armstrong that led to investigations. Without the comeback and the Landis admitting his foul Armstrong may still be the fairytale he once was.
