Here we go again... another scandal on TDF

Apparently Floyd did a press conference this afternoon on the issue.

He's also going to talk about it on Larry King tonight at 9 pm ET: CNN: Larry King Live

I'll say one thing about him, he's not hiding or holding back.!!

if floyd was tested at other parts of the stage while in yellow, and didn't test positive, why did this one pop positive? were the other tests they were doing trying to test for something else or the same thing?

I don't think I'd wait for the b sample test - I'd have the IRNS test done immediately.

I believe in Floyd. Until he says "Yes, I knowingly took a banned substance" I will continue to believe in him.

Greg Lemond is way too fast to accuse others of doping. Don't forget there has been doping in pro cycling for many years even when Lemond was racing. Also, remember that he probably shouldn't have been able to win the tour since his body is full of shotgun pellets due to being shot I think it was maybe a year or two before he won the Tour!

I don't condone doping but the tour has gotten so competitive, no one who is not doping can have a chance in heck to win! Back in the day, they used to have what you would call a rest day where they would go slower and take it easy - these days, the tours are always "the fastest ever" etc. Something has to give and it is the rider's bodies if they don't dope!
