Did Floyd Drink Whiskey?

I have been reviewing Floyd's statements and I am really confused about his
beer/whiskey excuse. Originally he said that he had a beer, next it was a
few beers and some shots of Jack Daniels. Early last week he was making the
rounds of TV talk shows and one of his quotes was:

"On Monday Landis protested his innocence on TV in the United States, saying
that his initial explanations for the positive test -- including drinking
whisky the night before -- were the result of suggestions from other
people."

Does this mean that he didn't drink any whiskey but lied about it at the
suggestion of others, or that he did drink the whiskey but was sorry that he
offered it as an excuse?

I commented on the ever changing story from floyd before. I really
think it means that he was told to say he drank some booze the night
before but was not told a specific type or ammount, and that the
variance indicated that he was making up his alibi as he went along. if
police want to ask you about what you did the other night because they
are investigating a crime and you are innocent, you are going to be
very clear in where you were and what you did in order to prove your
innocence; you will be specific and not vary on any specific points or
details as floyd has done.

That quote meant that he felt he should not have offered it as an
excuse.

A charitable interpretation is that he meant other people suggested
that drinking whiskey (or whatever) could have caused the positive
test.

If you really want to understand the variance consider: in the early
evening after stage 16, Landis meet with reports on the steps and
responded to a question with the having had a beer statement. After
the interview, he went back to his room and had wiskey while being
consoled.

The only conflict is with the way the press has reported it.

Hope this helps, but why is it that I doubt it really matters to you.

He said he was going to have a beer after stage 16:

After stage 17, he said he had one beer (and only one):

The whiskey ain't working anymore,

During Landis's time EVERY team leader was doping and they were more or less on equal footing. It is important to note that the Trek team under Armstrong led the way to safer doping with the transfusion methods which probably saved the lives of a lot of peloton members. But rules are rules and taking a race away from a doper is only fair. Even if the race is then awarded to another who only tested negative at the time of the race because he was undetectable at that time.

Bicycle racers are not exceedingly bright as a rule and I wouldn't be concerned about anything that Floyd said. Not that he was stupid, but no one is going to fall for an excuse like that.
