Floyd Landis Racing in France in 2007 — Non!

BIKINGBIS reports:
Floyd Landis promised French anti-doping authorities on Thursday that he won’t race in the upcoming Tour de France, or any French bike race, this year.
In return, the French anti-doping agency said it would postpone its case against Landis until after the US Anti-Doping Agency rules on the charges.
This should be a surprise to no one. Here it is February. Landis has no team, he’s running around the country trying to raise money for his defense, he’s still trying to get back into shape after hip surgery last fall, and he has already been quoted that he’s “pretty much” ruled out cycling for this season. I’d say no 2007 Tour de France for Landis was a foregone conclusion.
A legal defense fund for Landis is set up at Floyd Fairness Fund.
