Comments on: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE! http://bitchkittie.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/115628062465067775/ The hippest chick in the cycling industry speaks out Fri, 01 Sep 2006 08:23:00 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Eric Cone http://bitchkittie.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/115628062465067775/#comment-11 Eric Cone Wed, 30 Aug 2006 14:10:00 +0000 http://bitchkittie.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/115628062465067775/#comment-11 Some of my first thoughts. First, a CIR test showed that non-Landis testosterone was in his samples. That was performed after the first E-to-T ratio test came back positive. So, how did synthetic testosterone get in his samples. Options 1. Someone between collection and sending to second lab (Swiss) placed said drug in samples. 2. Both labs are working together to show a positive. 3. He cheated. Three main theories. a. Used the patch too long b. Put his on blood back in the night before 17. The blood used had said drug. c. His lack of food in-take during 16 caused high levels of fat burn-off causing left over drugs to enter the blood stream again. What I want to know. 1. Did any of the other Landis samples comeback as positive under the CIR test? Even if the E-to-T test comes back normal he could have a positive CIR test. 2. How quickly does the body remove extra testosterone? Is it hours, days, or weeks? If it is days or weeks, shouldn't the other samples have come back positive? Not to be down on cycling but if you answer these questions you should have a pretty could case for or against cheating. Lastly, if the cyclist don't trust the lab then why don't they boycott the tour? Some of my first thoughts.

Options
1. Someone between collection and sending to second lab (Swiss) placed said drug in samples.

2. Both labs are working together to show a positive.

3. He cheated. Three main theories.
a. Used the patch too long
b. Put his on blood back in the night before 17. The blood used had said drug.
c. His lack of food in-take during 16 caused high levels of fat burn-off causing left over drugs to enter the blood stream again.

2. How quickly does the body remove extra testosterone? Is it hours, days, or weeks? If it is days or weeks, shouldn’t the other samples have come back positive?

Not to be down on cycling but if you answer these questions you should have a pretty could case for or against cheating.

Lastly, if the cyclist don’t trust the lab then why don’t they boycott the tour?

Wow! Are you a psychic reader? Do you Dionne Warwick? Maybe you work for Dick Pound. . . Come on. . . where do you get this as the "reality" of the situation? Lancey Pants couldn't get nailed for doing nothing, why do you think Floyd is different? I'm just asking. . .honest question. I don't think that the effects of testoterone vs. the actual test results make any sense. They don't jive. That's fact. You can't screw with that. Well, keep hating. bk Well Mr. “Syke”,

Floyd will have been found guilty, will lose the yellow jersey, and be banned from cycling for two years. No matter what evidence he comes up with to the contrary. 2. Somewhere along the line, he will manage to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt (well, to everyone who doesn't write for l'Equipe, at least) that he's been telling the truth after all. 3. He'll most likely be reinstated in professional cycling. However, he will NOT get the 2006 yellow jersey back, and he'll still go down in history as the only TdF winner to ever be stripped of his title. Oh yeah, it'll be mentioned that he was found innocent, but way at the end, in small print. 4. A lot of Frenchmen will be very happy. After seven years of slagging Lance, they finally won one! Now if those damned Americans would just go away completely.
