Wow. I just don't understand these reactions (including "I always blame the French"--what's up with that?). Why do so many people *want* to believe Floyd? Here's what he posted on the internet after Lemond told him he'd been abused:

>>" I did, as I used to do for some people, call GL privately to discuss some comments that he made about me and my situation. . . What Greg actualy divulged to me is what he does not want to talk about. . . Unfortunately, the facts that he divulged to me in the hour which he spoke and gave no opportunity for me to do the same, would damage his character severely and I would rather not do what has been done to me. However, if he ever opens his mouth again and the word Floyd comes out, I will tell you all some things that you will wish you didn't know and unfortunately I will have entered the race to the bottom which is now in progress. For the record, I don't know Greg, and have no more respect for Greg than I have for people who go through life blaming others for all of their problems. You are not a victim of others Greg, you are a pathetic human who believes that if others didn't cheat (not sure about you) you would be the President and all the peasants would bow to your command. Join reality with the rest of us who win some and lose some and keep on smiling."<<
Nice. And you think it matters whether Lemond was abused or not? You don't like Lemond because you think he was a spoiled rich kid??
As for the effects of taking testerosterone, this is what came up in yesterday's hearing (from Velonews):

>>Friday's most compelling testimony - at least from a cycling standpoint - came from longtime low-level pro Joe Papp, who was called by USADA to detail his use of a wide assortment of doping products, including synthetic testosterone. The crux of Papp's testimony was the notion that testosterone can have a beneficial day-to-day impact for bike racers, and that you can easily hide that use from drug testers, two ideas the Landis side disputed in their opening statement on Monday.
"There was a significant improvement in recovery. There was no cumulative fatigue when I used [testosterone]," claimed Papp, during direct question from USADA lawyer Matt Barnett. <<
