Positively False The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France
Author: Floyd Landis, Loren Mooney

After reading the book, I still thought he was guilty. All he did was keep throwing excuses at the wall until something stuck and he would get off the doping charge. Well I guess the book is total BS. Since he has now come out and stated "Yup, I doped."

He still wants to take down Lance as well...So I will throw some blame his way. After going through cancer treatments do you think Lance would put anything like Steriods into hid body?....

NO!....

Do you think the MOST TESTED ATHELETE IN THE WORLD.....He would not be able to beat them all.

UPDATE --> ADMITS HE WAS JUICED = BOOK IS TOTAL BS!!!!

This book is great with a few caveats. It starts out funny and intense in much the same way, I assume, Floyd Landis is himself. I couldn't put it down but did feel the big change in tone once everything started going downhill (it does get dark and frustrating in the last part). When I checked out info on Landis on the net after reading it, that feeling only got worse.

Floyd is a sympathetic character and I'm definitely a fan but the read gets much darker at the end.

Lastly, if you're a big Lance fan you may not like this book.
