".... Testosterone creams, pills and injections can build muscle and strength and improve recovery time after exertion when used over a period of several weeks, according to Gary Wadler, a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency and a spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine.
But if Landis had been a user, earlier urine tests during the Tour would have been affected, too, Wadler said. Landis' first reported abnormal result was last Thursday, after his amazing come-from-behind performance in stage 17 of the race.
One-time use of steroids could result in an abnormal test, but it would have no effect on performance and could not account for Landis' astounding feat Thursday, ''so something's missing here,'' Wadler said. ''It just doesn't add up.''
I have a lot more aticles & quotes from anti-doping agency people, endocrinologists etc, but have to be away from my laptop for next half hour or so. I was depressed about this yesterday, but the more I'm discovering that this rush to judgement could very well be a big fat bust, I'm hopping mad!
And of course you to commish.
Thanks for the info and links.
