In looking at the preview coverage of the now-underway Cascade Cycling Classic, we saw the name Floyd Landis listed among the competitors. This couldn't be that Floyd Landis, the guy who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France win after he was found to have been doping? Yup, it certainly is and he's riding solo without a team. But here's the bonus: a crew from ABC's Nightline will be following Landis during the competition, so at least Bend gets spotlighted on national television for something other than pregnant men or record foreclosure rates. Yeah that's cool, but Floyd Landis? Seriously? Wow, WTF?
