Pretty Boy Floyd, International Criminal?

French judge issues arrest warrant for Landis - VeloNews

Say it aint so! I'm no Floyd defender but damn the French won't let this one go. Why do he and a handful of other riders get perma-railroaded post serving suspensions while others get to keep riding? Like why is it ok for Vino, LA, etc to keep racing? Difference is obvious: Floyd has no money.

IMO the man is personally and professionally destroyed, leave him alone, he's not coming to the Tour, he's not coming back at all, and one would suspect further punitive actions might push this to a point of greater tragedy.

Everyone, even a cheat caught red-handed, should be left alone at some point. Bring down the system that supports doping, don't push just one man to complete ruin in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Whether he has been contrite or not, he has paid his debt. Even criminals get out of jail eventually.
