I tend to think he's guilty of doping. Either using a testosterone patch or cream OR getting blood doped with blood taken when he was using testosterone.
However, I think that there are such major procedural violations by the labs that the test results should have been thrown out. This business of repeating tests until you get the 'right' result (ala Mayo last year) is BS.
The whole system of drug testing appears inherently suspect. The leaks to the press, the knowing whose sample you're testing, sending a sample around the world to get the right test, etc. is an embarrassment.
Even though I think Landis cheated, I don't really think he was doing anything out of the ordinary compared to the rest of the pro peloton.
