If you followed the 2006 Tour de France or Floyd ,or you weren’t living under a rock, you’ve probabley heard about the doping alligations and probably think the issue is all over, he’s guilty (according to the press) and that it’s old news.
I picked up a Cycling magazine the other day to learn it’s far from over. The challenge and hearings are just heating up. Did you know that there still has not been a tour winner declared and that no prize money has been awarded pending the outcome of the hearings? Check out the other side of the story, the one the press really has been ignoring.
