This year’s Tour de France was one of the most exciting ever, with Floyd Landis mounting an incredible comeback in the mountains the day after an equally incredible collapse. A drug test has now showed elevated levels of testosterone (actually, a high ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone). Either these tests are incredibly inaccurate or Landis is an idiot. The only way to explain someone taking a banned substance in his position, when he knows he will be tested, is if the tests are so poor that they almost always miss a violation. I find it hard to believe that it is that hard to test for testosterone. I also find it hard to believe that Landis is an idiot. So I’m hoping against hope that Landis is cleared, and the test result is explained by his thyroid medication, his natural hormone levels, and/or his cortisone shot for his hip.
