Floyd Landis - cheat
Floyd Landis, winner of the Tour de France has returned a positive dope test. Remember the big comeback after he cracked in the Alps? Yup, the bastard cheated. Tested positive for testosterone. Mind you, only his A sample has been tested at this stage, and he claims it's all a horrid mistake and the reading was caused by him drinking a beer the night before ... yeah, right.

Set up. He was tested twice during the race and was clean, then all of a sudden after 5 days he has shown to have taken testosterone which isnt a "quick" performance enhancer. Sounds suss

SBS's caller (top in the world) thinks that it's suss too. The body is capable of producing a surge of natural testosterone (happens to us when we see a gorgeous receptionist, and forget who we came to see) and this could well have been the cause. B sample will show the same. I do not think that there would be a more corrupt, self serving all for one and sod the rest mone-grabbing sell your soul to the highest bidder sport than cycling. No-one will ever know.

I know cycling is rife with drugs, but some how ill give this bloke the benifit of the doubt.

Thought he might be french hence the conspiracy, although I'd guess the frogs are sick of it being won by the Yanks so even a Spaniard would be better.

Cycling? Who cares? All a pack of bum-sniffers if you ask me.

On the other hand, I can't find anything which indicates that testosterone can give any short term gain whatsoever. I did see an article which made reference to the 1908 race where many riders ate bulls testicles in an effort to up their levels of it though.
Why are these buggers announced guilty after one test result is known, and before the full facts?
Landis said in the SBS interview, that it's bigger than winning, and even if he can prove himself innocent, the publicity will stick!
I'm happy to say that there's no drug testing yet in tiddlywinks, so I shall keep playing whilst full of Old Gold Chocolate, and no one will know any better!
cheers,
