Floyd Landis second sample is positive (again)
Posted by The Foo in Sport

Floyd Landis is out … fired by his team and is no longer Tour De France Champion. The “B” sample test confirmed the first – “testosterone was taken in an exogenous way”. The levels of the “B” substance tests turned up a testosterone/epitestosterone ratio of 11:1 – far in excess of the normal 4:1 limit. Landis had claimed the testosterone was “natural and produced by my own organism,” and once again maintained his innocence. I must say that his reason for “high testosterone levels” is a first in one of many other reasons given by athletes testing negative on tests. I wish him luck in rebuilding his career.

    How could you test positive for drugs and swear that you didn't take drugs? hmmm, if the drug testing is flawed, they should stop doing it and sue the labs that are testing it! ;-)

    I feel sorry for him, he should be man enough to admit his mistake and get on with life.
