When It Rains . . .

News today that Floyd Landis's father-in-law, David Witt, has been found dead in his car in San Diego. The cause of death? An apparently self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head. Witt and Landis became friends in the late 1990s (Landis met his future wife through Witt, not vice-versa). Witt also figured prominently in Landis's move from mountain bikes to the real thing. Of course, the Chateau's sympathies are with both families but the timing certainly provokes one to wonder. One question: where was Witt in July? Curiouser and curiouser.
