Don't diminish his performance with your silly assertions.
Time will show the lack of controls in the chain of command in the lab handling the samples including the "leak before the leak" BS from the lab and UCI. That alone stinks of incompetence.
Go ahead and be naive. I never said that the patch was the only doping that Landis did. I merely explained what the procedure is for that particular process. My assertion is that he was on a systematic doping regime...just like all of the other top riders in the sport...(several of whom were former teammates such as Hamilton and Heras).
He failed a doping test!!! I watched him on the Tonight Show last night and although I give him high marks for courage, he didn't even come close to having a rational explanation for having synthetic testosterone in his urine. He got caught red handed so now he's going to blame the lab and the test. What a joke. He and the other riders seem to have no problem with the system until they get caught...then the whole thing is corrupt. I want him to be innocent because, frankly, I like the guy. But I'm afraid he's guilty. The evidence is overwhelmingly against him and he will NOT win this fight.
If you care to make a little wager on it, I'd be happy to.
