  1. Quoted message said:

    From C.W. Nevius' blog, a SG Chronicle columnist:

    "I don't think people know specifically what happens with that level of
    stress,'' says Dr. Eric Heiden.

    "What he is going to have to do,'' says Dr. Max Testa, who is working
    with Heiden to start up the new Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in
    Murray, Utah, "is get into an excellent hospital that has no connection
    to the Tour with a good department of endocrinology that has a name.
    Then they need to study him as a subject to prove that something
    physiologically changed under the stress.''

    The problem is, that could take a long time, long enough that even if
    Landis proves his point, it may be long after the average fan has
    already given up on him as yet another drug cheater in sports. Like
    everyone, Heiden was blown away to hear that Tour de France winner
    Floyd Landis had tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone.

    "I was super disappointed,'' Heiden said when I talked to him Friday.
    "It was like the final nail in the coffin.''

    My poor typos! Argh!

  3. Ken,

    I totally agree with you regarding Floyd's innocence. Just a gut
    feeling, obviously, but I am willing to give the guy the benefit.

    Good post. If Heiden, an expert in the field, is so easily demoralized
    by the test result, those less adept at grasping the physiological
    scenarios behind the skewed TE ratio are likely to give up on the sport
    for the wrong reasons -- or perhaps not cotton to it to begin with --
    regardless of FL's possbile exoneration. That would indeed be a
    calamity.

    Everytime I hear that inaccurate statement I lose all faith in the media.

    Floyd's T level was not elevated.
