Default Thrust But Verify say: Landis doped

I don’t know what to do. The results are in the books. There are some confessions, some suspicions, and some amount of uncertainty.

The undeniable fact is that Landis was charged with microdosing testosterone. I don’t (and may never) personally accept the tests that were run as proof of anything but a flawed laboratory regimen. Your conclusion may be different, but I’ve yet to see anyone claim that this form of doping would have improved climb time up L’Alpe.

“The performance was good, so it must be cheating” only goes so far. How can we know?

Should we see a new editorial line for his blog ?
Floyd's reactions?

I don't see that TBV was actually admitting that FLandis doped. The time that he picks to indicate riders being doped (37 minutes) is a cop out. Only two times by Pantani break that number. Interesting that he doesn't choose 38, which would include Armstrong, or 39 which would include a handfull of riders.
