    I'm starting to have my doubts about UCI and WADA in general.

    But the thing that's really getting my panty to be all knotted up is WADA may want to go after Landis for their legal expense? Break my leg!!

    So you appeal and you lose. so you get hit with a suspension. Can't really work now as a racer and oh BTW, you can pay our legal expense too. wink wink wink. This is black mail. You can't work as a racer but pay $1million?? How? IT WILL put a significant damper on anyone who may want to contest the test result.

    One thing that has always bugged me is that the test results are compared against the average person. Not someone of this athletic caliber. The pro riders are there for a reason. They won the genetic jackpot for having superior ahletic ability. Along with it, I would expect that what is normal for these athlete is way off the chart compared to the average person.

    Average person do not have resting heart rate under 40.
    Average person does not have similar lung capacity far from it.
    Average person can not sustain even the half the power output of these athletes.

    So wouldn't ya think something is different about their body chemistry like having too much testosterone? or too high a red cell count? Something has to be way out there or else any average guy with the right training could be riding in the Tour. To think otherwise about the makeup of these athlete is just plain DUMB!!

    I am so sick of UCI and WADA

    the content of the link provided by sarah was changed so no mention of WADA might go after Landis for their legal fees.
