Landis Backup Result Tests Positve

After nearly a year (how does blood or urine take nearly a year to check?) Floyd Landis has in fact tested positive for synthetic testosterone after his backup samples confirmed the initial positive. I don't really care at this point. This story has for sure tested positive for boredom. I do more interesting things each afternoon than this whole Landis doping story. I eat sandwiches, big and spicy ones. I sell people things that they don't need. I sit and day dream about work being over and me sunning myself next to California co-eds. You get the picture.

Ullrich rides off into sunset.

French cycling champion, Jan Ullrich, retired today, weary of doping allegations surrounding his prestigious career. For those of you not familiar with Ullrich, he can typically be found in pictures of Lance Armstrong as the cyclist directly behind him, both on the course and in the standings.

"I am ending my active career (as a cheater)," Ullrich said. "It's not easy, but you have to listen to the voice inside you (your lawyers) that the time is right (authorities are closing in). It was a good time (how could I come in 2nd five times while cheating!) and I would do it the same way again, even the bad times."

He said he will stay in the sport as a (steroid and blood doping) consultant for the Austrian-based Volksbank team.
