Floyd-Results are back

[Dogmama]

If he is a plant, somebody needs to trim his ears.

I thought the whole point of the second test taking such a long time was that they were checking for exogenous testosterone.

For what it's worth....
I don't think Floyd is a cheat.
I don't think he's a "regular" cheater.
If he were, I think previous tests would have shown it, and they did not. Subsequent tests do not show cheating. It all hinges on 1 test done after Stage 17.
I think he was distraught over bonking on Stage 16. Terribly distraught, feeling like he just blew the Tour, something he worked soooo hard for.
Man, that has got to hurt.
So....Dr. Feel Good comes along and says..."Floyd, my man. I can fix that. Wear this little patch on your privates and it'll help you recover. Totally natural (from plants???). No need to do anything. Show up on drug tests??? Nah...not to worry. And you can honestly say you never "ingested" anything."
So Floyd, being the good soldier he is, does as he's told and POW! What a stunning comeback in Stage 17! Epic, dude.
...and maybe because he takes cortisone, or thyroid meds, or because he had that shot and a beer, it DOES show up in his drug test....it's amplified or something.
And now he blew the Tour...everything he's worked so hard for goes up in a puff of smoke.
Man, that's got to hurt.
Just my theory anyway......
