Landis on TV

Landis just held a press conference in Madrid - carried live on CNN. He is
also scheduled to be on Larry King tonight.

There weren't any earth shattering revelations, but the start of the press
conference looked like a rugby scrum with all of the photographers and
cameramen fighting for a picture.

Research suggests that it ought to be.
From June 23, LA Times:

"The latest study, conducted in the controlled environment of a laboratory,
measured the performance of 10 trained cyclists.

Over a period of weeks, each cyclist was tested three times on a stationary
bike at a simulated altitude of 12,700 feet. The test involved a
six-kilometer ride against the clock. Each subject was tested with a
placebo, a 50-milligram dose of Viagra and a 100-milligram dose.

Four of the subjects - which research dubbed the drug responders - had
significant improvements in their times with the 50-milligram dose. Their
average time was 10 minutes, 48 seconds, compared to 15 minutes when they
took a placebo."
