this is playing out to be an interesting case. everything from the interpreter being replaced to prank calls. it certainly spells out trouble so far and i think it's only going to get hairier and crazier as time goes on.

what does everybody think about Floyd's truth? Did he or didn't he? I'm interested to see if/when they get to the physiological side of Floyd's performance on stage 17 if what he did was consistent to his training and peak power numbers. I'm very skeptical about somebody who completely bonks one day (didn't he have dehydration problems?) to winning back several MINUTES over the yellow jersey the next day on a mountain stage. It's really hard for me to believe it was done naturally. Stuff like that really doesn't happen, and it's not that I don't believe in miracles, but a performance from a notable guy that comes completely out of nowhere - that's what I find hard to believe.

The flip side to the question - was there malpractice on the side of the French laboratory? Who knows. I'm unfamiliar with evidence of wrong-doing by this place previously. Does anybody know further information on this subject? I know that Lance, the most tested and hated athlete in France (lol), does not trust ANYTHING French lab-related. I can imagine why he feels that way. Though the thing is....how wrong can they be with their procedures if there's documentation and signoffs throughout the whole test?

Anyway, that's my two cents on the subject.
