This is the email that Floyd Landis sent to USA Cycling admitting his doping guilt, as well as accusing Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, David Zabriskie, Levi Leipheimer, and many more.

2002: I was instructed on how to use Testosterone patches by Johan Bruyneel during the During the Dauphine Libere in June, after which I flew on a helicopter with Mr Armstrong from the finish, I believe Grenoble, to San Mauritz Switzerland at which point I was personally handed a box of 2.5
mg patches in front of his wife who witnessed the exchange. About a week later, Dr Ferrari performed an extraction of half a liter of blood to be transfused back into me during the Tour de France. Mr Armstrong was not witness to the extraction but he and I had lengthy discussions about it on our training rides during which time he also explained to me the evolution of EPO testing and how transfusions were now necessary due to the inconvenience of the new test. He also divulged to me at that timethat in the first year that the EPO test was used he had been told by Mr
Ferrari, who had access to the new test, that he should not use EPO anymore but
he did not believe Mr Farrari and contin ued to use it. He later, while winning the Tour de Swiss, the month before the Tour de France, tested positive for EPO at which point he and Mr Bruyneel flew to the UCI headquarters and made a financial agreement with Mr. Vrubrugen to keep the positive test hidden.

2003: After a broken hip in the winter, I flew to Gerona Spain where this time two units (half a liter each) were extracted three weeks apart. This took place in the apartment in which Mr. Armstrong lived and in which I was asked to stay and check the blood temperature every day. It was kept
in a small refrigerator in the closet allong with the blood of Mr Armstrong and George Hincapie and since Mr. Armstrong was planning on being gone for a few weeks to train he asked me to stay in his place and make sure the electricity didn’t turn off or something go wrong with the referigerator.
Then during the Tour de France the entire team, on two different occasions went to the room that we were told and the doctor met us there to do the transfusions. During that Tour de France I personally witnessed George Hincapie, Lance Armstrong, Chechu Rubiera, and myself receiving blood transfusions. Also during that Tour de France the team doctor would give my room mate, George Hincapie and I a small syringe of olive oil in which was disolved andriol, a form
of ingestible testosterone on two out of three nights throughout the duration.

I was asked to ride the Vuelta a Espana that year in support of Roberto Heras and in August, between the Tour and the Vuelta, was told to take EPO to raise my hematocrit back up so more blood transfusions could be performed. I was instructed to go to Lances place by Johan Bruyneel
and get some EPO from him. The first EPO I ever used was then handed to me in the entry way to his building in full view of his then wife. It was Eprex by brand and it came in six pre measured syringes. I used it intravenously forseveral weeks before the next blood draw and had no problems with the tests during the Vuelta. Also during this time it was explained to me how to
use Human Growth Hormone by Johan Bruyneel and I bought what I needed from Pepe the team “trainer” who lived in Valencia along with the team doctor at that time. While training for that Vuelta I spent a good deal of time training with Matthew White and Michael Barry and shared the testosterone and EPO that we had and discussed the use thereof while training.

Again, during the Vuelta we were given Andriol and blood transfusions by the team doctor and had no problems with any testing.

2004: Again the team performed two seperate blood transfusions on me, but this time Bruyneel had become more paranoid and we did the draws by flying to Belgium and meeting at an unknown persons appartment and the blood was brought by “Duffy” who was at that time Johans assistant of sorts. The second of which was performed on the team bus on the ride from the finish of a stage to the hotel during which the driver pretended to have engine trouble and stopped on a remote mountain road for an hour or so so the entire team could have half a liter of blood added. This was the only time that I ever saw the entire team being transfused in plain view of all the other riders and bus driver. That team included Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie and I as the only Americans.

2005: I had learned at this point how to do most of the transfusion technicals and other things on my own so I hired Allen Lim as my assistant to help with details and logistics. He helped Levi Leipheimer and I prepare the transfusions for Levi and I and made sure they were kept at the proper temperature. We both did two seperate transfusions that Tour however my hematocrit was too low at the start so I did my first one a few days before the start so as to not start with a deficit.

2006: Well you get the idea……. One thing of great signigicance is that I sat down with Andy Riis and explained to him what was done in the past and what was the risk I would be taking and ask for his permission which he granted in the form of funds to complete the operation described. John
Lelangue was also informed by me and Andy Riis consulted with Jim Ochowitz before agreeing.

There are many many more details that I have in diaries and am in the process of writing into an intelligible story but since the position of USA Cycling is that there have not been enough details shared to justify calling USADA, I am writing as many as I can reasonably put into an email and
share with you so as to ascertain what is the process which USA Cycling uses to proceed with such allegations.

Look forward to much more detail as soon as you can demonstrate that you can be trusted to do the right thing.

Floyd Landis

L’AQUILA, Italy, May 19, 2010 – Richie Porte became the first Australian since Robbie McEwen in 2005 to don the Tour of Italy overall leader’s pink jersey on Wednesday following the 11th stage, the 262 kilometres ride from Lucera to here.

Porte, a 25-year-old former swimmer and triathlete, replaced Kazakh veteran Alexandre Vinokourov in pink in a stage won by Russian Evgeni Petrov – celebrating his birthday early as he turns 32 on May 25 – in torrential rain that saw the stage disrupted by a river breaking its banks.

Vinokourov and Australian Cadel Evans suffered badly in the wretched conditions losing over 12 minutes to Spain’s 2008 Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre, who put behind him his disappointing tour so far in which he has fallen three times, to leapfrog the two of them in the overall standings.

Porte, who won the time-trial stage on the Tour of Romandy this season, was stunned at his elevation to overall leader.

“I can scarcely believe this!” he gasped.

“I cannot still understand how this could happen. But I am in a good position, with a good team who were underestimated by others at the beginning of the race.

“But when one sees how Chris Sörensen, who has already won a stage, sacrificed himself for me as he did today that is impressive.

“I am going to try and hang onto the pink jersey.

“But this is the first time that I am competing in a major tour.”

Vinokourov, who at 36 has shown he is as hungry as ever for success and restore his battered reputation after being thrown out of the 2007 Tour de France in disgrace for blood doping, for which he received a year’s suspension, said that his challenge was not finished.

“It was a very long day. But it is not finished. They (the other
favourites) were watching out for me to react. Now, it is for the other teams to dictate matters. The race is a long one.”

Sastre was delighted at the end result.

“It is a result beyond our wildest dreams,” said Sastre, who is eighth overall, but more importantly over two minutes ahead of Vinokourov and Evans.

“The situation with regards to the bigger picture has been completely turned on its head after a difficult start to the Tour.”

Evans was short and to the point about the stage.

“It was a long day, horrible and bizarre.”

Sastre had got away with around 60 other riders at the 35km mark before the really bad weather set in and at one point the breakaway group had built up a near 20 minute lead.

Both Vinokourov and Evans’ teams worked frantically to limit the damage proving costly as both lost two riders apiece.

The business end of the race saw a battle between Germany’s Linus Gerdemann and Belgium’s Jan Bakelants, but his challenge came to an end when he fell on the drenched surface 1800 metres from the finish line.

Petrov, though, was to deny Gerdemann victory as he crept up on him to cross the line first to record his first success in the race in a career that has rarely tasted the heights that he experienced when crowned junior world champion in 2000.

“I went with the escape group with the idea of winning the stage,” said Petrov.

“My last win was so long ago (2002) that I can’t even remember it!”

Thursday’s 12th stage is a 206km ride from Citta Sant’Angelo to Porto Recanati on the Adriatic Coast.

LOS ANGELES, California, May 14, 2010 (AFP) – Three-time defending Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer will be hoping for a repeat performance
when the 2010 Tour of California begins Sunday.

Leipheimer will head up favourites Team RadioShack along with seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong who is using the Tour of California to prepare for another run at the Tour de France.

They will be joined by RadioShack teammates Chris Horner and Spaniard Jose Luis Rubiera in the most prestigious cycling event in the USA which begins in Nevada City, California before finishing in the hills above Los Angeles on May 23.

This is the fifth running of the event which was moved fron February to May because of conflicts with the Giro d’Italia. This year’s California race is longer and more difficult than past versions and features the first finish at an notable altitude.

“There’s a lot different about this year’s Tour of California,” Leipheimer said. “We’re here in May, not in February, and the whole feeling of it is different.”

There will be 16 teams with more than 125 riders from 23 countries, including Belgium, Finland, Spain, France, Germany, New Zealand and Sweden.

“We are proud of the powerful and talented group of international and domestic cyclists set to participate in the 2010 Amgen Tour of California,” said Andrew Messick, president of organizers AEG Sports.

“From Tour de France champions to Olympic medalists and world champions, this field is one of the best that has ever competed on American soil. The growing reputation of the Amgen Tour of California has resulted in a very accomplished field of cyclists, which should make for a great race.”

Besides RadioShack other well-known teams include Team HTC-Columbia, Quick Step, Team Saxo Bank and Garmin-Transitions.

“This is a big race for us with Radio Shack involved,” Armstrong said.
“There so many retail outlets in the around the country and particularly in California. It’s no secret this is a priority for us.”

Belgian national champion Tom Boonen of Quick Step is one of the world’s best single-day racers.

The 2005 world champion has won the spring classic Paris-Roubaix three times, but he was banned from the Tour de France last year after testing positive for cocaine for the second time in less than a year.

British cyclist Mark Cavendish, of Team HTC-Columbia, is the best sprinter in the world. He has won six stages at the Tour de France, three at the Giro d’Italia and two at the Tour of California.

Tour de France runner-up and Luxembourg champion Andy Schleck of Saxo Bank should also be in contention.

Lincolnshire cyclist Katie Colclough admits psychological worries may affect her return to action after an accident in Belgium.

All year we travel through Europe for our races. Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands. Pfff... time for something different! So this time we packed our suitcases for a trip to...
