Landis Tests + for blood doping

Crap.

This was a great story and probably one of the best rides ever by a rider after falling 8 min behind and making up 7 the very next day...

Hope it is some French conspiracy. But it could explain the very good and bad days.

I haven't seen any stories that suggest it's him? They just say it's a cyclist and that they'll say who later, like they did for the others. He's MIA, but I'm willing to bet he's off getting that surgery he postponed for so long. I hope so, anyway. That would just crush me.

Its on 3 diff. news sites. His team confirmed its him. Maybe they news sites are all reporting something wrong but I doubt it. Dammit again.

AIGLE, Switzerland Jul 27, 2006 (AP)— While the cyclist who tested positive for doping at the Tour de France won't be identified until backup tests are complete, it does not appear to be any member of USA Cycling including champion Floyd Landis.
The International Cycling Union said Wednesday that an unidentified cyclist turned in a positive doping test during the Tour, widening the scandal that gripped this year's race before it began.

His name, team and nationality won't be released until the testing process is completed, including the analysis of a backup sample.

It doesn't appear to be this was 32 minutes ago

4th news agency...

CNN reports Floyd Landis has reported + for elevated levels of testosterone. His teammates confirm the report.

Now its testosterone. This is a bit more bizarre. One can have elevated testoterone levels at different levels naturally.

This Sport is for geeks.Doesn't surprise me that the resident Science teacher is interested.Tell me this,teacher,if the blasting power from many explosives comes from the massive amount of energy released from nitro-organic compounds(when Nitrogen gas is formed,)then why doesn't it also take a great deal of energy to form the nitro-organic compounds?(or does it indeed take a lot of energy to form them.)For instance,this compound:
