    Tonya Harding and her goons think that this mess is fucked up beyond belief. ???

    It's apparent that Landis is willing to squeal to cover his ass, LeMond wants to take down Landis and Armstrong, and if anyone thinks that USA Cycling isn't cheating, ask the French.  But what do I know?  I'm eating American Fries right now, as the Cubs are trying not to do what they do best:  blow leads.

    Former Landis manager enters rehab

    MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Floyd Landis' former manager was set to enter rehab Monday, a revelation made in the hours before the Tour de France champion was to take the witness stand for what promised to be a hostile cross-examination.
    In a letter written by Brent Kay, Landis' new manager, and posted on the "Trust But Verify" blog, Kay acknowledged Will Geoghegan is "entering a rehabilitation program today in an effort to address his problems."
    Geoghegan called Greg LeMond last Wednesday night and, posing as LeMond's uncle, threatened to reveal the secret that LeMond had been sexually abused as a child if LeMond showed up to testify.
    Moments after LeMond told that story Thursday, Geoghegan was fired. When he testified Saturday, Landis said he had no idea Geoghegan was making those phone calls.

    This whole thing is a disaster.

    The panel will find Landis guilty and he'll appeal to CAS and probably lose.

    The more this goes on, the more I think Landis did it and is just as dirty as most everyone else in the sport.

    Not particularly shocking considering Geoghegan said he'd been drinking when he called LeMond.
