    Wow, that is almost as odd as Tyler Hamilton saying he didn't blood dope but was actually a chimera. I have always thought it could be possible for food or water to be contaminated but at the same time am very skeptical. A lot of people didn't like Contador's way of taking yellow but enough to make sure he would fail a doping control? Still don't know that I believe his explanation, we'll see how this plays out I guess.

    Giving him the benefit of the doubt in the same way I have with Tom Zirbel (and still am).

    Of course, I did that with Floyd too and we all know the truth with that now.

    Perhaps Floyd can give him some tips on how to raise money for his defense.... (but I'm not bitter....)
