    By the way, the story is posted on Floyd's website, www.floydlandis.com, and you can post comments. I think there are already about 100, almost entirely supportive.

    Was Floyd just naive?

    According to German newspaper "Die Welt", there were 13 positive samples at the Tour de France. 12 had a therapeutic exemption.

    Ou of 105 riders tested at the Tour, 60 had some form of exemption.


    The only one who did not have an exemption was Landis. Was this just plain stoopid?
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    It was my understanding that Floyd did have an exemption for his cortisone injections.

    I hope they clear this up, but I also hope that they clear it up with a reasonable explanation and not just leave it hanging. Innocent or not, because of everything that has happened, unless there is definitive proof, he will still have that hanging over his head.
    I think that is sad, because what happened to innocent until proven guilty, but it's just the way things will be unless they give proof of his innocence.
