Sooooo sad to hear the news about Landis' drug test! I'm really hoping it's not true...

Floyd says he didn't do it, and I hope the second test does prove that. Maybe I am naive, but I believe him.

I have it on authority..  that the B sample will most likely test positive for testosterone/epitestosterone.   Now this is a highly inaccurate test because it is highly likely that Landis' high level of testosterone was due entirely to his bonk and then magnificent recovery.  they body does amazing things when under that kind of stress.  However, the climate at the UCI and WADA is of no tolerance and after letting Lance go for 7 years, they will not be kind.  Phonak is also recovering from Tyler Hamilton's suspension, so their statement that he will be sacked reflects that.  It is very unfortunate for Landis.   

Amiloo, is Phonak going to stay in the cycling business?

I am soo soo sorry, Amiloo.  This is really awful and I feel for Floyd Landis.  To have it all come down to this very inaccurate test is just horrible.
