This is but one of the "fairness" problems being brought to public consciousness by the case.<BR/><BR/>TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-20015777992335941252007-04-20T20:47:00.000-07:002007-04-20T20:47:00.000-07:00"And therein lies the challenge for Landis: explai..."And therein lies the challenge for Landis: explaining how the metabolite deltas observed are erroneously arrived and not indicative of doping, but within the realm of normal variation."<BR/><BR/>Floyd should not be required to prove a negative. Under that standard, all defendants would hang. Rather, the burden should be on the French Lab to explain why it claims Floyd's test results were positive for synthetic testosterone when no other WADA labs thinks the lab's own data support that conclusion.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, the fact that Floyd's samples were tested by the same person and the paper work was touched up after the testing (and appartently again after the Wiki defense!) indicate that Floyd did not receive the required benefit of a double or even single blind testing. This alone would cause the case against him to be thrown out of any non-kangaroo court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-44287862198544175962007-04-20T13:15:00.000-07:002007-04-20T13:15:00.000-07:00Sorry Steve, not a chance.

What is the point? The best are not there, so who really cares... Not I. I will just stick to riding my bikes, and teaching my boys how to ride.<BR/>Mike<BR/>Green MTN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-18230166093445219022007-04-20T09:01:00.000-07:002007-04-20T09:01:00.000-07:00Oh c'mon Mike.

Just one more reason not to watch this year. Perhaps the powers that control professional cycling will destroy it faster than I thought. Guess I will just have more time to ride, after all professional wrestling is more believable than professional cycling right now, and I hate wrestling. <BR/>Mike <BR/>Green MTN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
