Floyd Landis Doped?

[Tippster]

I would ask you to stop thrunting up my thread, but have no idea how to do so en Francais. Would it be pronounced Sss-run-tink?

Perfect, now I can add drinking to my workout routine because it boosts my testosterone levels. I seriously hope it was the sixer that Floyd drank the night before and not him doping. Although 6 beers isn't a lot to most people, it probably is to a 140 pound dude with no fat on him, so that might have done it. I'll drink to that.

Is it that my views differ from yours or simply just the British part that really irks you? Don't bother with an answer I really don't care.

Nottingham? that'd make taking Somalian citizenship seem attractive.

I think he hates most parts of England more than the US, at least he is fair.

Why dont they just pre test everyone before the damn race and leave it at that?


I have to go press my linen jacket for miami vice tommorow. Micheal mann rarely disapoints.

I love this theory! Floyd bonked, got shitfaced, came back to crush everyone else the next day, and tested positive because he drank so much the night before.

Cheers!

Worked for me.

The best nordic ski race I ever had was a 15k. The night before I drank about 6 beers and smoked a few bowls. Got up relaxed, a bit hungover. Drank tons of water, went out and skied better than folks who usually kicked my ass. Ha!

Whatever though. I just thought the beer drinking theory was kind of funny.

Good interview with Floyd here, audio only.

What the hell is he doing getting schnockered in the middle of the race? Just who the fuck does he think he is? Bode Miller?

He partied at the "Olympic level" and it didn't work for him, so it might be hard-pressed to say that it worked for Floyd. Either way, I still blame the fucking French. Surrender already!

Lance Armstrong is hating this. Riding Ragbrai trying to get out his cancer message, and the reporters are hounding him over this sorry situation.

Please read post #57 in the other thread.

Like I said there, he may have doped, who knows. But the same science that is accusing him, also admits that the test they are using is prone to false positives.

[Tri-Ungulate]

Agreed; see my post #69 (huh huh huh - 69) on that thread.

[subtle plague]

If this is true, and the French should know this unless they are truly out to hang an American, it will kill the sport ie. revenue stream for America. How many Americans have dumped more loot than any other combined country over there the last eight years? If this enthusiasm dies in America that race will end up like a weekend MS Race. Oh no, we're Europeans we love cycling. Yeah, and you have the ability to support yourselves and your systems without tourism. The entire EU is just an amusement park for wealthier countries to come experience and le tour is one of the attractions. The spirit of the sport is bullshit, you fry an American over this and it's done.

This is so great. I just have to quote it again.

that is some funny shit

I don't think Floyd doped. Doesn't make sense to take testosterone to recover from a boink. Pro cyclists are really well informed about the affects from the banned substances.

I haven't read the whole thread but I'm sure somebody has written that the high ratio of testosterone does not mean elevated testosterone.
