The Floyd Landis debate will turn into the UCI Competence Debate - It already is

As it well should.

This testosterone test is pointless for a number of reasons:

• Intended to detect anabolic steroids, it's focusing on a drug not widely used by competitive cyclists to cheat. What's the point?

• I've read one expert after another from all kinds of credentials essentially say there is too much potential for high readings from completely natural causes.

Which does beg the question: WHAT are they doing over there? Shouldn't they have RELEVANT doping controls? Not ones riddled with flaws/open to question/ testing for substances that aren't a threat to the GC?

Phil Ligget is in the media talking about this as a witch hunt too. Man, this is going to get ugly. But for pro cycling, the UCI, the Tour organizers et al most of all. It's their friggin bed. Idiots. Let them lie in it.

I'll enjoy watching them twist in Le Wind.
