Thursday Roundup

News
Part 3 of the Amber Landis interview on the Daily Peleton. pk

Floyd loses big. In the Dilbert "Weasel" competition, he's a distant fourth, behind Barry Bonds, Terrell Owens, and Lance, who places well even in retirement. My votes for Schumacher got him out of the cellar, but not past Landis. Gatlin was a very distant last place. Thus, in the mind of the public, doing the deed and copping to it isn't as bad as being a possible victim of a false prosecution. As well as the technical burden of proof, that reflects the PR hill Landis needs to climb.

PezCycling Eurotrash Thursday has a small mention of FL back on the bike training for the TdF. pk

CyclingFans, a new and exciting film from "Floyd Landis", and a snip from the ASO video with the cracked glass.

CyclingNews reports Milram is shrinking, which could be read as leaving room.

Spain will jail suppliers, Landis mentioned just because.

Podcasts
From The Competitors Radio Show Michael Ashendon discusses FL and Tyler Hamilton. We mentioned this on Monday, but it's the official release, we think. pk

Blogs
Bitch Kittie, the "hippest chick in the cycling industry" (Bob Roll's business partner), gets a dog named...

French blog makes a joke where Floyd is the good guy (partially translated) :

Which is the difference between Floyd Landis and Michel Rocard? The first does not plunge in sourness after the failure...
The article title, "Rocard_le_loser" should be a clue.

Dugard en-route to NYC, where he's having dinner with Landis. Maybe SI will do a feature, OR maybe a book is in order. ....pk

JoshQPublic lumps Landis in with various Cleopatras.

Doucheblog talks about interviews at CompetitorRadio, and plugs TBV, so he gets a new link back here.

GTVeloce goes from Landis to Pantani in a self-described ramble about doping.

Broxter is annoyed it takes so long to find cyclists guilty.

Brett is irked at typos on the expensive Tour DVD sets that cost big bux.

Calendar
Arnie Baker's talk with Slide Show 2.0 will be at the Tucson Convention Center at 5:30 PM Friday November 17th, according to comment to yesterday's roundup. It also says Floyd got a close look at Arnie's butt for the whole of his first road race. Well, it didn't say that exactly, but it follows, um, logically.

tbv - i argue that cases should be to trial and conclusion more quickly.

cycling (and any sport really) is a short career, and people like basso and others implicated earlier in the puerto case have lost a big chunk of their career.
