Vigorous exercise can increase natural testosterone levels for a brief period.

Floyd would have never made "Larry King Live"...
Landis wouldn't have been on "Larry King Live"
...if it wasn't for this whole doping scandal.
Actually, Landis was a mere blip in the sporting world in this country partly because Tiger Woods had his emotional British Open win the same day in England last Sunday (his storied stage-father died recently).
America loves sensationalism, unfortunately. Guess it sell more tabloids/ air time.
I have non-cycling people at work asking me now about if this "Landis guy" is innocent. These are the same people who gave me a puzzled look at me as I was watching OLN on my hourly breaks at work for 20 days straight (casino dealers get a quick 20 mins/hour ya see).
I have to believe F.L. is innocent.
The acid test (to me at least)?
He swore to his fear-of-God instilling mom that he didn't cheat. If he can sleep at night while lying to his mother, then he has bigger problems then being stripped of the TDF title.

totally agree. In all the websites I went to after TDF, Floyd Landis championship was just a smallish link. Every freaking website had Tiger Woods picture up front. "Tiger Won British Open"
Jon Stuart, Jay Leno and Stephen Colbert did make good gigs of TDF, that's good.
Media likes to exploit negative news.

I heard--I think on Larry King--that the lab involved is the same lab that was hounding Lance . . . and, hounding for no bonafide reason in LA's situation. Interesting too that when this lab starts playing God with cyclists' reputations (and trying so hard to bedevil their accomplishments), the first thing that lab does is leak their "news." In LA's case, that's all they and the French press wanted because that's all they ever had on Lance: allegations . . . baseless allegations.

I'm not saying Floyd is or isn't guilty but I imagine he has lied to his mother before this. I imagine we all have.

Info for The Daily Show says Floyd Landis is on the show tonight. It's on now. We'll see if he's really on it.
Nevermind - he's not on.
