    What happens now? Do they wait for the second test? How does this work? I may have to stay home sick today.

    Here's another article from Velonews that confirms that Floyd was named. Let's hope the B test comes out negative.

    I'm stunned, I really hope the B sample shows that A wasn't accurate.

    I must say that with everything that was going on lately with doping scandals I was very dissapointed with pro cycling and where it's going until stage 17. But now I am sitting and don't even know what should I think.

    Oh No

    I really don't want to find out that the French are so pissed at Americans winning that they'd go to these steps to taint the result.

    I really really don't want to believe it's true.

    make it stop

    Knotted - I was thinking that too. Testosterone levels can vary naturally, so I'm just hoping that it turns out it that is was a by-product of his performance and not something used to alter it.

    If I barrelled up a bunch of mountains with major epinephrine/adreniline dumps and in huge pain, wouldn't my testosterone/epitesterone levels be elevated, too?

    I think they would actually be lower...

    Again, I could just barf. This is as bad as Tyler. But I was more naive back then and I fervently believed him. I think alot of us have taken off our rose colored glasses since then.

    Oh boy. I have a hard time believing he could be so stupid as to actually take something, given the scrutiny placed on the race – particularly this year.

    The whole thing is a disgusting, if you ask me – disgusting if it is true, and all the bad press for cycling is disgusting if it is false. Sickening, too…

    How long do we have to wait to know for “certain” what the results are?
