    So, does this mean Mr. Landis will have his title taken back?

    We were discussing this in another thread. Major suckage, assuming he also fails the test on his other sample.

    Any nature reason to have elevated levels of testosterone?
 
To: Paradox
    WOW! A male being tested positive for a male hormone. Now that is something new. 
 
I guess the French riders tested positive for Estrogen.

    This is highly suspect since he's in France, none of their males have any.

    No matter what, the joke has to be said: 
 
Are the French whining because an American tested more manly than them?

    "unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone ratio" 
 
I guess the French aren't used to seeing levels above 0.0.
 
To: NapkinUser
    I'm trying very, very hard to care about this.

    It's big news for the french. Since they have no balls, they don't know what it is like to test positive for male hormones.
