floyd.
well, cycling has done it again. it has been leaked that floyd landis is the rider implicated with high testosterone/epitestosterone level in his 'a' sample.
uci protocols say that a positive 'a' sample does not consititute a positive test outcome, just that the b sample requires testing. but the press will run with this, the idiots that are the general public will decide he cheated (i've already had 3 people come up to me at work) and cycling takes another hit.
i'm not saying he is clean. cycling is inherently dirty (everything with money involved is dirty, sport or otherwise). i am saying that you cannot fight cheating with indiscretion and poor protocols...especially when scientific testing is involved.
this makes me sick to my stomach.
i wonder what riding for 6 hours in extreme heat would do to my testosterone levels?
