landis and his team were turned down in their request to ride in this week's tour of california.
prior to that, he had emailed threats to amgen (the sponsor) and aeg (the organizer) to make embarrassing disclosures about doping.
this is a guy who collected $1.5 million in donations to defend himself against doping allegations. something he's categorically denied until just this week. he's also admitted while making these current allegations that he has no other evidence. there won't be any follow up documentation. it's the same allegations that other's made in the past, without proof.
cycling has a doping problem. no question.
but floyd landis is no jose conseco.
