Floyd Landis implicates Atomic Racing in doping scandal
Floyd Landis, winner of the 2006 Tour de France, has confessed to doping during his professional cycling career in an e-mail to USA Cycling chief executive officer Steve Johnson. In his letter Landis further goes on to name several high level cycling figures with accusations of systemic doping, including 7 time Tour winner Lance Armstrong, director and team owner Johan Buyneel, and ProTour riders Dave Zabriskie, Michael Barry, Levi Leipheimer and others.
Landis also indicated several Atomic Racing members may have been involved in doping as well. “Those guys ride so fast. I haven’t seen anything with my own eyes, but it’s just not possible for them to do what they do without being on the juice”, Landis wrote in his letter to Johnson. “Several of the guys in particular seem super-human. There’s an Asian dude, and a stock broker guy…those guys can move. All of the executive is using [performance enhancing drugs] too”, said Landis.
Atomic Racing officials could not be reached for comment.
