- Go to Well, It's Official -- Landis Took Designer Drug
In a society (and I'm talking globally, here), R.I that teaches and shows
those who take shortcuts and cheat often are victorious, that little is done to stop or thwart them from doing so, that financial gain is generally not impeded by being "outed" or caught -- well, you get my point..

No doubt, growler, someone on ESPN believes Armstrong was boosted a
bit in his victories. But that was never proven. This incident, given the current findings, is a bit different.

The night before his comeback, some sports anchor said on the air that Landis needed to see Lance Armstrong's doctor before the next stage. I think that it was an ESPN guy. As soon as I heard about the comeback, this was the first quote that I thought of.

I'm not surprised, either, just disgusted.

I'm not surprised ...
I've never trusted the Amish.
I mean, sure, they act all pure and pious ...
"If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy,
throw one of those small pumpkins.
Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is,
and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."
