Yeah but LeMond has won three TdFs - legitimately.

Landis is 30. All he seems to know are bicycles and the Mennonite religion.

So it's either become a minister or go to night school.

If he built a bike and attached his name to it, so what? Can't you just hear the peloton talk: "Is that a Landis?" "Yeah." "The guy who was doped up during 'The Tour' then stripped, fired and suspended from the sport?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, nice bike..." with a of the eyes...

As a matter of fact, Swiss-owned BMC builds Landis' bike:
...and they must be hella embarrassed on their own right now, not to mention upset about potentially lost sales. Why? Figure it this way; no one heard of Trek until Armstrong started winning Tours aboard one.
