No one is cleared of doping allegations until a rider is proven innocent. Wait for the B-sample to be tested.


Under World Anti-Doping Agency regulations, a ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone greater than 4:1 is considered a positive result and subject to investigation. The threshold was recently lowered from 6:1. The most likely natural ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone in humans is 1:1.

Testosterone is included as an anabolic steroid on WADA's list of banned substances, and its use can be punished by a two-year ban.

His mom sticks up for him (yeah, right):


Arlene Landis, his mother, said Thursday that she wouldn't blame her son if he was taking medication to treat the pain in his injured hip, but "if it's something worse than that, then he doesn't deserve to win."

"I didn't talk to him since that hit the fan, but I'm keeping things even keel until I know what the facts are," she told The Associated Press in a phone interview from her home in Farmersville, Pennsylvania. "I know that this is a temptation to every rider but I'm not going to jump to conclusions ... It disappoints me."

It's pro cycling.

Guilty until proven innocent is the only way to go if you don't want to be a patsy...unless you sat on the OJ jury, that is...

God I love it when rednecks give their vision of geopolitics... Nothing like undereducated poorly travelled idiots trying to act tough.

Haha Love it! :love:

Do you want to discuss how the biggest US companies in pre-WAR were heavily financing Hitler's "reconstruction" efforts in the first place and how they consequently dragged their feet for about as long as they could?

I tend to speak up. It's not like he is going to punch me in the face for stating my thoughts (or if it's the case he IS an actual retard)

Mani, you're French and you live in Utah...you're toast to the hicks in this forum, just like I am :p

Btw, I was the dude on the SGS/Dorado today. Good ride/race.

dhbuilderboithing, I called you a hick after you invoked the cliche Joe Smith reference. I felt it a well deserving title.
