Let's talk about Floyd's test results here
There are so many threads out there all over the place, and all of them are dealing with the exact same topic. So to keep moderators sane and conversations in one place, I'll create threads on different aspects of the Landis problems. If anyone has stuff to say about that topic, could you NOT create yet another new thread on the topic and just confine it to the thread created? Honestly, I'm not trying to censor or anything... I'm just trying to consolidate and keep members and moderators sane. It's not a censorship issue- it's a sanity issue.
So this thread is about the A and B sample test, and whether or not the tests are valid. Please- put your discussions, whether for or against in this thread. I've merged all threads to do with the samples here.

French sabatoge
If you test for drugs for 4 wks and only show up positive on one occasions, I think the proof will show that it was french sabatoge...those euro's need to cut this out\\
As far I'm concerned Landis has shown to me that he is the REAL TOUR DE FRANCE CHAMPION

And all of this has what to do with whether Floyd doped or not?

Enjoy some "freedom" fries at lunch.
This anti-French / conspiracy slant of many people on BF (and many Americans in general) is ridiculous.
When Basso and Ulrich wre banned the day before the tour it must have been a conspiracy against the Germans and Italians. Please...

I believe this is a current photo of the CESM that conducted Floyd's piss test.

Interesting, objective interview with WADA Dr.
From ESPN:
https://sports.espn.go.com/oly/tdf200...ory?id=2531677
Its not often that someone from WADA says "innocent until proven guilty".

Good read. It'll be interesting to see what Floyd's normal testosterone ratio is...

Interesting, but it doesn't answer two questions that could be relevant.
First, if external testosterone was introduced, how long would the ratio be elevated? Possibly useful if it would remain for more than two days, and his test after the time trial was within limits, it would imply that there was some other explanation for the ratio.
Second, if the B sample matches the A sample, is that the end of the process, or does Floyd have the opportunity to appeal on some grounds (naturally high levels, affect of alcohol, etc)?
