Something about a patch he wore for hip pain.
Just how bad do the euros not want the winner to be 'merican? Cheating takes place a ALL levels in sports and other human activities.
My fav remains the French figure skating judge.

I am guessing here that your "football" is either Rugby or Soccer? Cocaine is serious of course and I am not downplaying it but it is not necessarily a "performance enhancing" drug which is more widely "accepted" than those drugs commonly associated with criminal activity.
I think he's innocent. I've even heard today that he had a few beers the night after he cracked on the mountain stage, & that alcohol consumption can cause the testosterone/epitestosterone level to be out of balance. I think in the end this will prove to be a charge that cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
The sad thing for Floyd is that even if he is finally proven innocent, there will always be an asterisk by his TDF win.
Here's to hoping you're truly innocent, Floyd. Keep the rubber side down!

I wouldn't hold my breath.
That was A sample. If B sample is positive he's gone.
Not necessarily. Read some of the articles - he had an imbalance, not a banned substance.
I never said anything about curing the ills of the world.
No, not insecure. Just trying to keep a level playing field. Maybe as an Aussie you don't notice the anti-US bias from portions of Europe. Trade "agreements" come to mind. The treatment of Microsoft in France is classic....but there I go trying to cure the ills of the world
If Landis was doping - then good bye! But let's look at this objectively. Testosterone just doesn't show high on one day only....the guy was doing some allowed meds, etc..

Trade agreements we have also...At least we get to bring our own barrel to bend over.
I've no sympathy for drug cheats in any sport. I've less sympathy when our (Oz) sanctioning bodies accuse everyone else of cheating, then let our athletes with banned substances slide.

trade agreements go the other way too, Pablo. We're often on the end (or on the middle) of US Ag subsidies and quotas, so we're probably just as guilty of an anti-US bias there, but I'd really like to give Floyd the benefit of the doubt.
Americans would never cheat!
Since I started this thread, I will be the one to close it while it is still on an even keel.
