The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of Floyd Landis, Tour de France Winner

View descriptionShare

On this episode of Our American Stories, Floyd Landis’s story is one of extremes. Raised in a quiet Mennonite community in Pennsylvania, he trained on back roads without the distractions of modern life. That focus carried him to the 2006 Tour de France, where he pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in cycling history. But only days later, a failed doping test changed everything. The champion’s jersey was stripped away, and his name was forever tied to one of the sport’s most infamous scandals. Landis joins us to reflect on his humble beginnings and the hard road back to redemption after the event that changed everything.
