The two that make the most sense are<br />(1) he blood doped before S17, and used some blood from training that had tainted contents;<br />(2) he was on an ongoing program and under-did his additional epitestosterone that would be used as a masking agent.<br /><br />The testers are supposed to undergo a quarterly proficiency test, described in the posts from last weekend, I forget which.<br /><br />TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-37125323219649221672006-09-09T14:57:00.000-07:002006-09-09T14:57:00.000-07:00I have a question.

If Landis was given synthetic testosterone of the same kind they claim was found; enough to raise it to the level they say he had in him at the end of stage seventeen, would it be all gone in the test the next morning (which it was)or would there be any residual amounts found? I have a feeling this guy is innocent. Who is testing the testers anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-62022055637251274242006-09-08T22:25:00.000-07:002006-09-08T22:25:00.000-07:00I am inclined to agree,which is why I think Rant t...I am inclined to agree,which is why I think Rant took it further than it deserved to go. Still, I find the failure to ever detect Landis's cortisone to be puzzling. He must have had enough in him to get a lame horse galloping. Do they not test for cortisone?<br /><br />I dont' think we'll know anything about various details until Monday, when at least the filings should be available.<br /><br />TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-69146373211780233462006-09-08T22:13:00.000-07:002006-09-08T22:13:00.000-07:00I see nothing inconsistent in riders with TUEs not...I see nothing inconsistent in riders with TUEs not testing positive. A high false negative rate (failing to find cortisone in Landis, for example) is undesirable but okay; it is the false positive results that are evil.<br /><br />All tests have a potential for false positives. We do not know what that rate is for the test used to incriminate Landis. Is it 1 in a hundred or 1 in a billion? Knowing the answer would help me decide whether I believe Floyd or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703959282199249051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-49868556661548021952006-09-08T15:29:00.000-07:002006-09-08T15:29:00.000-07:00...holding on to straws you are...

That explains the 60% of 105 vs only 13 positive tests. <br /><br />I stand by what I said earlier and what is the word in pro cycling community: Ullrich banned for life, Basso to Discovery after not enough evidence (why do you think he is not doing a DNA test - it would provide the evidence that is lacking...), Landis used a tainted blood bag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-57747099241399648852006-09-08T10:06:00.000-07:002006-09-08T10:06:00.000-07:00I think you may have caught a floundering rat in a...I think you may have caught a floundering rat in a logic trap.<br /><br />TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-59530366383536654112006-09-08T07:14:00.000-07:002006-09-08T07:14:00.000-07:00Still confused - In the article it quotes Pierre a...Still confused - In the article it quotes Pierre as saying, "He added that Landis did not have a certificate allowing him to take testosterone."<br /><br />This quote would lead one to believe that Floyd took Testosterone, but I thought that the results were that Floyd's T/E ratio was off because of the low E, not the High T. This would show that he didn't take Testosterone.<br /><br />The more I read and the more I hear, I sense that Floyd will not be able to clear his name unless an independent group intervenes.<br /><br />Thanks for this blog!<br /><br />GriggsRebecca Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669663817145395814noreply@blogger.com
