NEW YORK (CBS/AP) It's getting hard to figure out which Floyd Landis is telling the truth.

After being stripped of his Tour de France title for doping in 2006, Landis insisted that he never touched performance enhancing drugs. He fought the racing league in court, lost and still professed his innocence.
