I do find a fault in Floyd here as well as with his team. All of this
stuff is starting to come out on what prescription drugs he was on-
cortisone shots, thyroid drugs, etc. It's almost like he is a walking
medicine cabinet. Why did he not state this stuff earlier? I thought
there were media reports stating he was not taking any pain medication
for his hip (quote from one of his doctors)? Shouldn't the team doctor
be looking out for for their riders, researching and trying to figure if
any prescribed drugs or even supplements that are allowed to be taken in
professional cycling could possibly trigger a false positive drug test?
Probably the best thing Floyd can do is spill his guts and state every
single thing that gets put into his body each day: food,
over-the-counter supplements, prescription drugs, plus any banned
substance if he in fact was taking them. And I think Phonak should be
taking a small bit of blame here too. But the fact that every single
positive test for unusually high testosterone levels has been overturned
makes this drug test the UCI uses suspect.
This is just a mess and it is a real shame...

The Swiss-based team said in a statement that it was notified by the
International Cycling Union (UCI) on Wednesday of "an unusual level of
Testosterone/Epitestosteron ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after
stage 17 of the Tour de France."
From reports I have heard his ratio was 11/1
(testosterone/epitestosteron). Average is 6/1.
But they do say do to cortisone shots for the pain in his hip may have
caused this unusual level.

Leno appearance cancelled??!! Are you kidding? This is
the opportunity for Landis to tell the world that these charges are
bullshit until the B sample tests have been released Landis has nothing
to lose by defending himself publically on Leno and everything to
gain....
