John Eustice, an ESPN cycling analyst, is on ESPN right now saying that cortisone injections can raise testosterone levels.
This is correct. I believe that the French gave permission to Landis for Cortisone injections - they would have known about the side effects.

Tour Officials gave Landis a waiver to race with Cortisone injections. The UCI is completely seperate from the Tour -- SO, it is conceivable that Landis will be charged with a positive test, but not be penalized by the TDF because they had already approved the injections.
Still, the bottom line is Landis will be smeared and Europeans can the "Cheapen" his victory.
