weeee, here we go again!
Ah the speculation of the Euro media. I'd hate to see the legal system if these guys were in charge!
Here's where we are:
-1 Tour rider positive. Riders name w/held for obvious reasons. The team and the rider have been notified, and are waiting the outcome of the B sample. This is all we know that's TRUE.
Speculation SAYS (Family Feud voice):
-The Times reports it's testosterone while La Gazzetta dello Sport says it was stimulant.
-through the the use of a digital abacus and the fact that tests usually take a week to come back, it's been calculated that the positve result was given during the final week of the race.
-The Times makes it to be Stage 17 making the riders tested to be Floyd Landis (stage winner), Oscar Pererio (Yellow Jersey), and a random rider.
-La Gazzetta says it was later, but that it was involving a rider "high up in the classification".
-what makes this more fun is that Floyd has been cancelling all his post-tour races that are traditional for the winner to attend usually for huge sums of money.
-further feeding the fire is that there hasn't been any comment from the Phonak camp.
SHIT!
As I've been typing this Cyclingnews.com just confirmed it was courtesy of our New American Hero! How wonderful. Maybe he could blame it on the dead twin doppleganger scenario... I guess our hope are that it's an "unusual level" of testosterone. Not sure what testosterone for a single stage would do for you. If he was using it for strength building that would have been best used before the Tour, but what do I know. I also say that simply because he was the Yellow jersey on several occasions, and didn't test then. Probably used a good masking agent. Pedro Delgado won the Tour in '88 after testing postive for a masking agent that wasn't on the banned list. I guess he picked the right drug. If Floyd turns out to be a cheater, he's just another ass in a long line of jerkoffs screwing w/ our sport.
I'm getting closer to making the next Discovery Tour team! There's going to be no one left! I'll gladly be packmeat.
