I also wondered why he was drinking. Absolutely, alcohol dehydrates you, no question about that. I still wonder why any cyclist would go for a beer after a long ride. Seems counterproductive to me!

And Landis...had some HARD liquor to boot! Only thing I can figure out is that he must have really drunk a lot of liquids after that failed stage AND also the morning of his recovery ride. We know he used up some 70 water bottles and some of that went in his body, not just over his head!

Well, I do hope for the best. I do believe him more than I believe the media. He's no fool. I just don't think he would do it as he knows as does everyone else, testing happens. Even if he hadn't won that stage he could have been tested.
