In 2006, cyclist Floyd Landis won the Tour de France. His title was soon stripped due to swirling rumors, failed drug tests and facts. Floyd adamantly defended himself. For years he spoke of his innocence to any hot microphone within 75 yards. He spent $2 million clams (some of which was donated by supportive fans) in courts maintaining he was clean.
He even put out a book entitled
Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France. There was no way he was guilty of using performance enhancing drugs, he wrote a book saying he didn't. Case closed.
But hang on. Last week Floyd finally
came clean and admitted he was a cheater and a doper. Thus negating his best-selling tome.
Unfortunately, this isn't this first time a celebrity wrote a book that came back to bite them in the ass. Including:
Lawrence Taylor's
I Don't Even Like Cocaine and Underage Girls
Governor Mark Sanford's
Field Guide to the Appalachian Trail
Lindsay Lohan's
Clean Living & Hard Work: A Handbook For Young Actresses
Tiger Wood's
Golf and Family. That's All I Do In My Life. Golf and Family. That's It
And,
John Edward's
