Floyd's test will come back positive on Saturday and he'll continue to deny. There will be conspiracy theorists who say that it's the French who are out to get Americans. But then how do you explain all of the guys who were linked to the Operation Puerto affair a few months ago? How do you explain the Festina affair in 1998 (a French team)?
Hate to break it to you, but Floyd cheated. Americans are not above cheating in professional and Olympic sports. Marion Jones, Justin Gatlin...the list goes on and on.
Speculating on whether Floyd doped or not is so last Saturday. We are beyond that now, and speculating on what excuse he is going to confabulate.
Gatlin lamely blamed a disgruntled masseuse. If Floyd need stoop so low as to blame an external wrongdoer, his soon to be former employer Phonak provides a potential villain, as it has earned a particularly notorious doping reptutation prior to Floyd. That Floyd is on record stating (as a joke) that Phonak gives him mystery gels that he just blithely consumes might turn out to be useful ammo for his case.
