McGruber writes with some news that slipped by in December: "Floyd Landis won the 2006 Tour de France, but was later stripped of his title after testing 'positive for an unusually high ratio of the hormone testosterone to the hormone epitestosterone (T/E ratio).' In February 2010, Slashdot covered the news that Landis had been accused of hacking into the laboratory that detected the unusually high T/E ratio. Since then, Landis was 'convicted in absentia by a French court for his role in hacking into the computers of a French doping lab,' according to National Public Radio. Landis and his former coach Arnie Baker both received 12-month suspended sentences, according to USA Today."

He's Amish. Not sure what that implies, but it's interesting.

Crossed the line - try POLE-Vaulted the line. And unfortunately the same applies to parts of America. Try wearing an American Flag shirt to school in California. We are tolerant of all viewpoints, as long as they are the *correct* viewpoints.
