    Has he issued a statement denying it?

    “Hey, clearly failure doesn’t deter me!”

    He is going to hold a telephone press conference any minute.....the more I hear, the more I believe he's innocent.

    He's denied it up & down. This is the best interview I've found.

    Being someone with an ongoing thyroid battle, I know too well how all our hormones are interrelated.

    I'm glad Floyd did an interview and made a statement for himself. I'm also glad anti-doping is taken seriously but geez - it could be doping, it could be alcohol, it could be cortisone shots for the hip injury, it could be thyroid, it could be who-knows-what-else. With so many maybes and so many potential false positives, it's too bad Floyd's reputation has already been given a permanent question mark over this test.

    I don't know the guy, but I'm gonna go out on a naive limb and say he didn't do anything wrong. It just doesn't fit his "no excuses" character, and he doesn't come across the least bit sneaky or deceitful. Nope, I believe they're doing him wrong.

    I liked Colbert's comment about deserving to be recognised just for sitting on the saddle

    Unfortunately, I don't see a video of it on Comedy Central's site.
