Annette Messager Project Number Five


The headline of the article in "Floyd Landis takes aim after drugs admission".
It is an article issued of "TimesOnline".
The article was written the 21st May of 2010 by Owen Slot.

The article focuses on an American cyclist Floyd Landis, whose victory in the Tour de France had been annulled following a positive drug test, sent a series of emails to cycling authorities and sponsors in which he admits he doped consistently throughout his career. He also accused other riders and team managers have been involved in doping, including his countryman, Seven-time winner of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong. So far, Landis had always denied having doped during the Tour de France 2006. He specifically said shortly after he tested positive in 2006: "I am proud to have won the Tour de France, because I was the fittest." The Wall Street Journal, which had access to three of those emails where Landis says his former coach and friend of Lance Armstrong, Johan Bruyneel, had introduced him to the patches of steroids, blood doping and growth hormones during his first years at U.S. Postal in 2002 and 2003. He also writes that Armstrong, he helped win three loops in U.S. Postal Service from 2002 to 2004, has helped him better understand the mechanisms of doping, they had long discussions about it during training, Lance Armstrong was explaining the evolution of how to test for EPO and blood transfusions became necessary because of these new tests inconvenient. Landis scratches in passing the current anti-doping system, calling it a comic, and explains how to take EPO without getting caught.

To my mind,I think that Floyd Landis seeks to bring down as many people as possible in the fall especially Lance Armstrong, since these comments came a few weeks of the Tour de France and California during the dispute that Armstrong, even if it is not quite clear since it does have some precedent in the middle of doping.
