One sportsperson breaks his own world record. We applaud him. However, one more tests positive for drug after the recent positive tests of Gatlin and Landis. 
The common excuse for taking drugs usually are &#8211; the competition is too tough, others might be taking it and I thus have no choice.. Well, you cheated and [...]]]></description>

After the doping finds at the beginning of the tour, what cycling needed was a heroic performance to bring authenticity to the sport. We seemed to have that with the efforts of Landis. Now, Landis is under a cloud. He denies it and his mom denies it as well. When Shane Warne was caught with [...]]]></description>

The temperaure was soaring at 30 degrees as if the mountain climbing wasn&#8217;t difficult enough. Landis kept drenching himself in water. He kept fighting. In sport, you always have a window of an opportunity if you are look hard enough. It is not over till it&#8217;s over. To win, you have to first believe that [...]]]></description>

Just when every one thought Landis will win the Le Tour this year, and, it has become too predictable for final stages, Landis failed at a mountain test. No one had anticipated it. Not even Oscar Pereiro who now has the yellow jersey:
