Too Funny

This was too funny of a quote not to pass on. For those of you who know about Floyd Landis and his testosterone levels in the 06 Tour, you will find it funny (possibly infuriating). This was from Road Bike Riders weekly dispatch.

Overheard: "I mean, [the ratio] was 11 to 1. You'd think he'd be violating every virgin within 100 miles. How does he even get on his bicycle?" -- Dick Pound, WADA president, commenting in 2006 on Floyd Landis's elevated testosterone/epitestosterone ratio after stage 17 of the Tour of France.

Of course, we'll never really know the truth about Floyd. From what I've read though, his ratio was high, but both his testosterone and epitestosterone levels were abnormally low. Floyd did something amazing, and it would be great to be able to believe in him. Unfortunately, at this years tour we saw an equally amazing comeback by Vino, with the same result (positive test).
