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.

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.

+1
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 ...

In the last few days, my opinion has definately changed. I have a feeling he did it. I hope I'm wrong though.

Well it involves a Lab in Paris, they are located in Paris, and cover cycling extensively. Are you surprised when the NY Times breaks stories happening in NY?

yes, especially if it deals with a lab in NYC that repeatedly leaks information to the Times without any formal confirmation, announcement or patient release. c'mon

The lab is supposed to report to the official body that hired them not to the press. Somebody should get sued.

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.

I did, then I didn't (believe that he was guilty of what he's being accused of, I believe he doped in other methods), now I do again.

You can, but they don't think you can solve every problem on god's earth with an exchange of funds.
