Did Lance Armstrong use PEDs?

What a surprise, Floyd Landis finally comes clean about cheating with performance enhancing drugs during his cycling career. Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour De France title after testing positive after the race. He had raised eyebrows during that race after making a huge comeback in a late stage after being blown out the day before. Not surprisingly, soon after he tested positive, and he fought his case for years.

Landis is now pointing fingers at Lance Armstrong, accusing him of using PEDs while Landis and Armstrong were part of the U.S. Postal service team. Landis claims the whole team used drugs during his tenure.

I personally would not be surprised if Armstrong used PEDs. The entire cycling community was using them. Many of the top names were caught, including a couple of Armstrong's top rivals, Jan Ulrich and Ivan Basso. Looks like there will be a cloud over this year's Tour.
