Smells like bullshit to me. Maybe he should ask his new director sportif:
Dumbass -
His opinion is the same as most of us, however, unlike Floyd, he
doesn't want to be a rat.
I know you don't get that position, but please indulge me and consider
a different group doing a similar thing. Say there's a rave going on.
Quite a few people there will be on some sort of hallucinogin or
recreational drug. Say someone gets busted. The rat will point fingers
at all his/her peers in an attempt to get off. Most won't however.
Most will just take their punishment.
It's clear that, based upon your behavior in this group, that you
don't understand peer dynamics so I'll explain it to you. Most people
will put the esteem of their peers much higher than the esteem of the
authorities or the esteem of the rest of society.
If indeed Floyd is telling the truth, he'll be in with the
authorities, but he'll be shunned by his peers. He's trying to bring
all his friends down just because he went down. Some friend he is. How
would he feel if one of his friends decided to blow the whistle on him
when he was using and getting away with it? He's slime.

He's saying:
"Not ME! I'm INNOCENT! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
Kurgobro,
I think the whole backstory for this Floyd mess is the fact that he
felt shunned by his peers after his suspension. The emails from Dr.
Brent Kay to Lance actually lay out this scenario. It seems that Floyd
felt like he couldn't get back into the game so he gave it one last
try with the threatening emails to Messick and then, once unsuccessful
decided to take everyone down. Who knows what goes through his brain
but he obviously only cares about himself and obviously feels like his
peers turned their backs on him.

That's what I got, too. I don't see any other way to spin those emails.

Dumbass -
You're probably right.
It's stupid of him though, if indeed he wanted to get back in the
game. As you pointed out earlier in this group, some others (Basso, et
al) have taken their suspension quietly and gotten back in.
Floyd's mistakes began when he was doing all that crap with the Floyd
Fairness Fund and his book and all that. IMO, all of his actions have
been wrong. First he dicked over the people he lied to about not
doping (and took their money), now he's dicking over his peers. At
least he's dicking over his peers whom he doesn't like.
You're right. I think his biggest problem is that he thinks he's a lot
smarter than he really is. That is a lethal combination for him and
those around him. What a fucking moron.

That he ever chose threats suggests that his initial
attempts to get back into the game were as maladroit
as his later attempts.

A serious flaw would be if he's playing favorites with his
revelations. If Floyd knows others are doping and he hasn't outed
them because they are friends or have been 'supportive' then he's just
a vindictive cunt.
If he rreally wants a clean conscience he should tell all - I know
this isn't the popular answer but either your clean or your not.
Do not sell yourself short.
You espouse a most popular attitude.
