Any questions for Floyd?

I'm going to the Floyd Fairness Fund presentation in San Jose tonight. Anyone have any questions they want me to ask him? If so, speak up quickly. I'm on the road in about 45 minutes...

Star-divide

Just got home from the presentation in San Jose. They give their power point presentation, which you can find on the Floyd Fairness Fund website. If you haven't checked it out, you should. It's pretty compelling. Putting on my Floyd fanboy hat for second, it looks to me like the guy is getting screwed over. Doping in cycling may be a problem, and Floyd may be a doper (for the record, I don't think he is), but regardless of one's opinion, the evidence in this case appears to be really, really sloppy. Which pisses me off.

After the presentation they do a public Q&A followed by an auction of a few jerseys(1 Phonak, 1 TdF Yellow, and 1 Floyd Fund), an autographed bottle of Jack Daniels and a copy of the Dick Pound book signed by Floyd. I think the signed TdF yellow jersey went for $1200 or so.

Chris, I asked him your questions, as I was simultaneously getting my picture with him and getting his autograph... excuse the spaz but SWEET! I GOT TO MEET FLOYD!... Questions and paraphrased answers are ...

Q: Do you read Podium Cafe?

FL: I've read it but it's been a while...

Q: Sorry for the bad karma question, but if you lose this case and you can't race in Europe, would you sign with a domestic team and race in the US?

FL: Man... I don't know. It would be tough to do that...

At which point my 30 seconds was up. So there you have it. Not the most comprehensive interview you will find. Not really sure what he meant by the second answer, but a shit load of fun for me!

Sure
Has he read the Podium Cafe?

Seriously, it's hard to think of anything he hasn't been asked a lot.

How about... if the Pro Tour locks him out, regardless of the verdict, would he sign with a continental team? Here in the US?

Consider them asked
Time to roll... And sorry for the last minute call for questions. It occured to me to post this last night and then I spaced...
