Given the pre-race disqualifications of Basso et al, wouldn't a high-profile rider like Landis have to be certifiably insane to use illegal substances during the TDF?

I agree, but suggest the credibility the test is more questionable than Floyd's sanity. Why would he, in the midst (actually towards the end) of the race, while he was in the most prime position to win, take something that could be discovered and thereby jeopardize his victory. This doesn't make sense on several levels.

I am wondering if something he took for pain caused the physiology of his body to change and the testosterone with it. Given the "politics" of France and the situation against another American victory, I would not put anything out of the realm of possibility -- at least at this point.
