A quote taken from the Ottawa Sun today...
Even his lawyers are expecting the B test to come back negative! Poor Floyd. He's gonna get a beating from his mother.
Landis officially requested the testing of his backup urine sample yesterday for an elevated testosterone ratio. If the "B" test is negative, Landis would be cleared. If it's positive, which Landis' lawyers say they expect, he could be stripped of his Tour win and banned for two years.

First it was for elevated T/E, now its for synthetic T.
I dont trust them, they **** up way too much to trust them.

Leaks and releases are two very different things.
Are you one of those people that thinks lance never doped too?

My opinion of LA is of no consequence. I believe that they all do it. Some of them just know how to hide it better than others.
I also belive that the whole TdF, while exciting to watch, is nothing other than a moneymaker for all involved, so who really cares if someone gets caught doping, it was fun to watch.
Be more concerned about the riders/racers in the Cat 3-4 field in your local area...they dont get busted because they dont get tested...its rampant, its everywhere.

i for one, knew of several cat-2 riders in my region (and a few masters) that were juicing (1992-1995)
here in san diego with mexico in our back yards it was/remains all too easy
