At this point, I can't decide if what I'm feeling is faith in Floyd, or just plain denial. I hope that he goes in for every single test he possibly can to prove that this was a natural ocurrence. If, like Tyler Hamilton, he can't come up with proof, then this is damned sad.
I feel the same way.
I want with all of my heart to believe Floyd is exactly as he seems - a good guy who just wants to ride his bike.
I was talking with the owner of my lbs, who said that "all the pro cyclists use and that there are no exceptions (he got his information from a *friend* who used to ride professionally) - otherwise who could make it through the gruelling three-week tour?" Maybe it's naive, but I just don't want to believe that...
If I stop following the pros - like I'm contemplating - it won't be because I believe Floyd did anything wrong. It will be because of the way this whole thing has been handled from the beginning.
