Floyd is extremely dedicated. He knows how to train extremely well and he's disciplined enough to train relentlessly. Do you really think somebody with that level of self-discipline would risk losing it all by doping? I sure hope he didn't do it.
Yes. In fact it is very much the profile of someone who would dope to win. Your argument holds water only if this was about pot or extacy. It isn't, it is about disciplined use of a drug to win.
Of course that hardly proves that Floyd did dope, just that this is a poor reason to think he didn't.
