But does the tour officials have proof, or for that matter does the UCI? Was periero even tested? I have my doubts that he was. It seems that when an American does well in the tour he is the only one tested or the only one tested more then anyone else. Officials do this & call it random testing. Yeah right. They are so hard up to not have an American win or do well they'll do anything to prevent it. Who does the testing? An independent lab? Or one selected by the UCI or the tour? Seems rigged to me. Test results can be falsified no matter what anyone says. I have a hunch either the test was contaminated or the results were documented wrong.

Also Floyd had had cortison shots because of his hip. Cortison is a synthetic steroid. If I am not mistaken if a racer has any treatments like that he has to disclose it to officials, which I'm sure Floyd did. Do they not believe it that treatments such as this can cause the results in the testing?
