MADRID, Spain (July 28) - Sounding more defiant than the day before, eyes flashing and voice steady, Floyd Landis looked into the cameras Friday and said he would prove he ''deserved to win'' the Tour de France.
In his first public appearance since a positive test for high testosterone cast his title into doubt, the American cyclist said his body's natural metabolism - not doping of any kind - caused the result, and that he would soon have the test results to prove it.
''We will explain to the world why this is not a doping case but a natural occurrence,'' Landis said from the Spanish capital.
The day before, in a teleconference from a location in Europe he did not disclose, Landis said he didn't cheat but had no idea what might have caused his positive test on the Tour's 17th stage, where he staked his stirring comeback in the Alps.
Should athletes be tested before any event and quananteened until the start of any sport....?
Drugs are a problem in sport-any ideas?

I can't seriously imagine anyone in that sport especially, taking performance enhancing drugs when they KNOW that they will be tested upon winning. WHY would they do that, knowing full well they WILL be tested.
It doesn't make sense and I don't believe he did it.

WaAlaikumAsalaam my sisterr! In your query you recounted the Shahada, "There isn't any god however Allah, and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger". So essentially you're a Muslim now. :P You at the moment are a Muslim, say "Alhamdulillah", however in the meanwhile you'll simply make a decision the way you wish to inform your mum and dad...It is significantly so unusual, each revert I've identified, they are mum and dad are both completely in opposition to Islam or they've a few variety of concern. But there was once one revert who grew to become a greater man or woman, began respecting his mum and dad, and the mum and dad noticed the massive difference in him they usually had been so pleased. Other instances being that mum and dad have truthfully grew to become Muslims after their kids. It's simply robust.. You make a decision if you happen to wish to inform your mum and dad. Remember you'll even deliver Dawah to them, a call for participation to Islaam. Take care, salaam. :)

If they find he doped up, then he should NOT be declared the winner of the Tour de France. No excuses.

If the B samples show negative, YES. If they don't, NO!
