I'm not sure. Maybe his body just has that high of testosterone, or maybe someone put something in his water so he couldn't win... They should take a sample before and after the race too...

Curious, that. Did he not know that they would be taking urine samples? Did he think they would not find out if he did? Didn't the French doubt the American Lance Armstrong and set up drug questions? Are the criteria for drug characteristics reliable? What about the fact that with Landis' medical situation, there are bound to be differences in anti-inflammatory processes?
On the one hand, with the finding that there were allegedly synthetic types of hormones found, I guess that's it, but on the other, I feel that there is room for doubt that he cheated.

I don't think Floyd took any performance enhancing drug during the Tour de France. He was test 8 times, why only one positive reading? I would like to know how the drug testing was performed. Is it possible that the urine sample was tampered with. It may not even be his, could have been mislabeled. Accidentally or on purpose.

I am not sure but I think he should be given the chance to prove his innocence before he is stripped of the win. The media dwell on the negative , never mind that this spike could be caused by other means and possibly even sabotage. Lets give the man a chance at least.

It's probably the best hing he ever did!
If he didn't, most Americans wouldn't even know his name right now. We generally don't care for bike racing or the Tour de France.

No he didn't. He tested positive for elevated testosterone levels in his urine, which isn't the same as taking drugs.
He has a bit of work to do to clear his name, if in fact he is innocent. I don't like his chances.

No, because as long and hard as you practice that good? I do not think so! But still maybe, someone that good has got to have an abnormal body chemistry.

I don't know what to believe. ITs hard to listen to both sides you feel bad for him but at the same time you wonder did he really do that but on top of that you are like who the heck cares!

looks bad.
7 to 11 times the normal amount of testosterone. sounds like doping to me.

Yes it is a fact. However there is a small chance that he took it unknowingly.
