Competing in the Tour de France is a grueling feat in itself. But doing it with severe pain in your right hip is incomprehensible.
That has been the story for American cyclist, Floyd Landis, who is among the leaders in the Tour de France.
After Lance Armstrong retired from cycling last summer, you wondered which American cyclist would step forward. Now we are learning a lot more about Landis. He fractured his hip in a cycling crash while training near his California home in January 2003. The injury severed the blood supply to his hip bone which began a slow deterioration called osteoarthritis. He will need hip replacement surgery when the racing season ends.
Even if Landis does not win the Tour de France, he deserves a medal for courage and determination.
