Floyd Landis
In the midst of America leading the way in the WoT, liberating people around the world, our men have also taken two important Euro sports titles.
In what must be driving the French mad, even with Lance Armstrong gone, another American has won the Tour de France. Floyd Landis is our new man in the yellow jersey.
Landis in time to get yellow
For the eighth year in a row, and the 11th time in 21 summers, the American flag is set to fly over the Champs-Elysees.
American Floyd Landis regained the yellow jersey in yesterday’s individual time trial, all but assuring himself of victory in the Tour de France. The race ends today with what should be a ceremonial victory lap on Paris’ main boulevard. “I could not be happier,” Landis said. “It’s one of the best days of my life.”
“I am very lucky,” said Landis, who has been riding with an arthritic right hip and is scheduled to have it replaced in the fall. “I’m a person who works hard and never gives up. Otherwise, I’m just a human being.”
Another great role model. Additional coverage is here.
And speaking of great role models, Tiger Woods takes the British Open.

Tiger Woods Wins British Open by Two Shots
With a rock-solid final round featuring very few mistakes, Tiger Woods won his eleventh major on Sunday at the British Open Championship.
Woods won for the third time this year, and the first time since the Ford Championship at Doral in early March.
The last time a frenchman won the Tour de france was in 1985. While this 21 year drought seems like a long one, compared to the last time the french won a war, it’s the equivalent of a nanosecond.
viva la yanks.
Too bad we just found out today that Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone. 🙁
