NO ANSWER because you haven't presented a valid choice. To whit, the reported test does not show a high level of testosterone.
Your poll is meaningless.

No. 1st, In the past 24 hours I've read of a number of things that can cause a high testosterone/epitesosterone ratio. 2nd, I can't believe he would be dumb enough to take testosterone during the Tour. Testosterone doesn't do anything to improve performance on a daily basis. And he knew that, being a stage winner, he was going to be tested.
I think that even if the B sample is the same as the A Floyd and his people will be able to prove that the ratio was high due to things other than taking testosterone.
SB

Reading the posts, it sounds as if 75% of Forum members have already convicted Floyd. We don't need no stinkin' evidence or trial.
Yet, the poll shows 76% of members think Floyd is innocent. I guess that means that the "hang Floyd" bunch is a small group of people, who are out-posting the saner members by a large margin.

the poll is @ 75.10 % not guilty - 257 votes
its the poeple that WANT to believe Landis took something posting over and over, and I thought I was cynical
but to the people who first hear the news without reading all these variables, I can understand how they think, but once you hear all the facts, between the B sample and different tests- hurry up and wait ...

It's amazing to me; the news keeps getting worse for Landis, and the poll numbers are swinging slightly in his favor. I can understand holding onto a vote that he's innocent based on the presumption of innoncence argument, however if you're just betting which way its going to come out, I think its highly unlikely he's not going to be sanctioned.

I'm starting to think he did, because of the LEAKS . . . but until it's official, I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt.
