Well, maybe I misheard...but I think you've got it right.
The carbon isotope ratio test does appear to be done on the B test

So I'll shut my yap; appears all the noise now is just about the ratio of testosterone
to epi-testosterone being evelvated above adult male "normals".

No harm done. You scared the living daylights out of me, but no permanent damage done, I think. :-)

Nope...the carbon isotope test has not been done yet. We are still waiting for the analysis of the "B" sample for the T/E ratio, then if it also shows the same high ratio, Landis can have the carbon isotope test done, and that will definitively prove his innocence...or guilt, whichever it may be.

Personally, I don't see big deal about testosterone in Landis' case...it would not give him any advantage...when you take 'roids, you have to take them in a "cycle" that lasts several months, and you have to do weight training to get any results. It would not magically improve your endurance, especially overnight. It's not like he tested positive for EPO, folks!

I also find it really suspicious that the results come from the very same lab that tried to smear Lance Armstrong.

I am confident that Floyd Landis will ultimately be exonerated. It's just a shame the cheese-eating surrender monkeys had to piss on his parade like this.
