The courts acquitted the Chicago 8. Judge Landis banned them anyway. Good for him and good the cycling authorities.
So was Judge Landis related to Floyd?

Frankly, I think Armstrong's a hypocrite. As are we all, particularly those of us who hold people up as heroes because of their athletic acheivements. With Lance, the cancer complicated matters. He seemed more admirable, having shown a superhuman amount of courage. Yet the suspicion remained that the very disease he overcame was a consequence of his indiscretions.

This is a tragedy.
