Interesting article on Landis currently

Thought the subscribers might be interested in this article on Landis
currently. Any athlete with no fall back position if not working in
their sport, I feel bad for. This really seems to show all the human
sides of Floyd.

Being a rec cyclist and tri-geek, I don't post here, but the post makes
interesting reading and learning.

Raise or raze? Two very different things.

I think the Mennonites usually raze a barn before they raise another.

The most important fact and one generally left out is that Landis'
testosterone levels weren't high. His epitestosterone levels were
low.

What's more, the FIRST test showed 4.5:1 and the second test of the
same sample showed 11:1 demonstrating either that there was a
contaminant, probably an epitestosterone eating bacteria, an
incompetent lab or outright crookedness.

You take your pick but I'm guessing "All of the above" since IF the
levels change that radically for the first and second tests they're
supposed to throw the sample out as contaminated. So.... why didn't
they? And then why didn't the UCI call them on it? And why hasn't WADA
said anything? This entire business smacks of corruption on a high
level.

Sounds quite mild compared to some academic debates.

Well, there is someone around these parts who likes to think his chest beating
will convince everyone that he's the group's mighty silverback, when it really comes
across more like the turd flinging resident of monkey island.

Sometimes one becomes disappointed in the forces of evolution, all these years
