Think Floyd
AP photoTrust But Verify is an interesting Floyd Landis fan blog that aims to "keep track of the Floyd Landis doping allegations at the 2006 Tour de France". Maintained by "a 49-year-old long-time (but off and on) cycling fan and rider" whose "nom de Peloton would be Fred Poser", it offers intelligent takes on the still-unresolved "Floydian" doping scandal.

From BBC Sport: 'Floyd Landis has admitted he made a mistake in trying to explain his failed drugs test at the Tour de France. The American tested positive for unusual levels of testosterone after winning stage 17 of this year's race and is set to lose his title. "I've come out in the press and tried to explain these test results, but I think that was a mistake," said Landis. "I was forced into this situation because of leaks from the UCI (International Cycling Union)."'

From AP: 'Lance Armstrong says it's crucial that Floyd Landis win the Tour de France for the continued development of cycling in the United States. "It's great for American cycling, and I'd love to see the jersey stay in the States," said Armstrong, who retired last summer after the last of his record seven Tour wins. The Texan's success boosted the popularity of the sport hugely in America, but there were fears that people back home would lose interest once he was gone. Armstrong says a win by the 30-year-old Landis can help maintain the sport's high profile until a new American hope arrives — especially since Landis's injured hip could force him out of the sport.'
