What was a daily roundup became an "irregular report" of links with specific Landis interest, with brief comment. We avoided bashing, gushing, or gross stupidity. Unless it was funny.
We're still around for mail, but don't expect much or quick response. Thanks!
Comments are welcome, but may be edited/moderated or deleted for propriety and relevance. The decision of the judges is final. Your milage may vary, taxes and license additional.
"As always, Trust but Verify has the best coverage, if you want to delve into it." (Doucheblog)
"Floyd Landis: Blog on Landis Doping Allegations" (LA Times [better than nothing])
Total Poindexter Website Prize: to the fabulous geniuses over at trustbutverify, who not only are perhaps the most impassioned defenders of Floyd Landis' virtue beyond only the boy himself, but actually seem to understand the detailed scientific arguments they put out that the rest of us (well, me) are too stupid to even coherently summarize. Floyd, you better be innocent, or you owe these folks a *major* freakin' apology! (racejunkie)

"Who does awards for blogs? I sense a nomination is in order." (Carlton Reid, of BikeBiz)
"Hands-down champion of full-and I mean full-coverage of this hearing is the blog Trust But Verify. You'll have to have excellent background knowledge of the issues, and wade through page after page of detail to get to anything interesting, but it's raw and unfiltered and all there. The guy who runs the site, a cycling fan from Northern California, began casually providing a clearinghouse for Landis case news nearly 10 months ago, and now he has the haunted look of a man whose life has been hijacked and wants it back. (Loren Mooney, co-author of Positively False, at Bicycling)"thank you for you balanced look at what is happening with floyd." (Michael Farrington. Green Mountain Cyclery, Ephata, PA.)
"This genuine Floyd basher would like to thank you for the hard work you put into this great resource." (Spinopsys Phil)
" Trust but Verify, the essential clearinghouse blog about the Landis case" (Mark McClusky of Wired magazine)
"if you want the latest news on the Floyd Landis case, Trust but Verify is the go-to site. The author is biased in favor of Floyd (so am I) but the reporting is neutral and comprehensive." (12string musings)"Great blog. You're tagged. " (BikingBis. Great, more work)
[More...]Thanks to Free Floyd for the idea, and Groklaw for some inspiration.
PK/Strbuk is similarly inclined.Bill Hue is a passionate about fairness and justice, and is relatively indifferent to Landis' guilt or innocence
Marc is an American living in Paris.
If someone who leans towards guilt would like to contribute directly, please inform us.
Sharing a diversity of viewpoints is the best way we know of to arrive at the truth.

Excellent commentary on the hearings, thanks!

Why did Floyd Landis chose a black tie on the very day after his thug friend, Will Geoghegan threaten Greg lemond.
Landis already confessed that he was present during that evil call.
Was Floyd Landis still feeing evil the very next day?
Do non steroid abusers behave like this?
A see T-Mobile suffered yet another doping confession today.
"The efforts and dedication those involved with TBV have put into telling this story as completely as possible is deserving of nothing short of a Pulitzer Prize."
Thats a nice pat on the back for you guys...
Joseph Goebels would be envious.
Someone(s) petty jealousy show’s their intelligence. Their comments are bringing the discussion down to the level of Dick Pound and his nazi frogmen. If you want to hear yourself talk go in the bathroom and please close the door. Others here are interested in the truth.
MAN
How awesome!! That is a website that scientific minds read; and TBV is the authority!! I love the recommendation s for fixing the problems, they make sense! Not political, scientific basis! And it just shows what a great job you guys are doing!!!
ALL ABOARD!
Thanks for the link to the Environmental Chemistry review of the case.
In the increasingly "winner takes all" global mindset, it really should be no surprise to see "win at all costs" behavior, whether it is from athletes, the WADA, the USADA, transnational corporations, or all the souls flocking to gambling establishments in search of a jackpot.
Unfortunately, the stakes have become too high and decency, truth, due process, fairness, and integrity have become casualties of the global casino. I certainly am no longer "proud to be an American."
To me to greatest tragedy of this all is that we are being robbed of heroes. Most of us want to believe in something or someone stronger, better, more noble than ourselves. But this is being stripped from us. And all for the vagaries of the global market place. It has all become incredibly Machiavellian and feudal.
Viva La France!
I know, if I were an elite cyclist, I'd be torn between wanting to take part in the most prestigious of bicycle races and the fact that my life could be ruined by a very possible false positive [and the inevitable leaks] from a notoriously shoddy laboratory.
While I think cycling as a sport is not in as much danger as most people would seem to infer, I believe, regardless of the outcome of these hearings [in terms of Floyd's past, present and future], the Tour de France is at serious risk of extinction; no formal "boycott", per se, just a simple avoidance by those who recognize the liklihood of botched "science", should they face testing.
Thank you to all who have worked so hard to provide a glimpse of the procedures and all-too-political motives of the anti-doping [bowel] movement.
