The 2006 Tour de France began with the biggest doping scandal in the history of sports. And it only got worse from there. The first race without 7-time champion Lance Armstrong was supposed to be a shining moment for a new generation of riders. That included Lance's former teammate, Floyd Landis, who was on the verge of becoming the next American cycling hero. Until he wasn't. In this episode, where lots of bad things happen to lots of bad people, we are incredibly grateful that Mark and Josh remain our beacons of goodness and hope.
