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.''
