Jury's out but sure isn't looking good.

He explained that the testosterone levels throughout his career were “natural and produced by my own organism.”

Yuk!

Do these athletes really think that they can outwit the testing process?

Has it gotten to the point where they feel that enhancing their abilities is the only way to keep up with competition?

Who was it that said 'it's not winning that's important, it's taking part'. Some loser, most likely. :)

In any competitive endeavour, some people will always try to cheat.

Our softball team used to say "losing sucks more than winning is good".

But we had beer either way.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Again, folks, remember that the standard norm for the TdF testosterone levels are established by the French-- and this time a guy with TWO functioning testicles won. :lol:
The dogma lives loudly within me.

The minute they replace beer with money, out come the steroids.

That must be why the teams that beat us were never drinking beer!

I think that the answer is yes, and unfortunately, for every one person that is caught, there is probably one other who is not. Money and fame (or the allure of) make people do crazy things.

I dont know what my excuse is as I have neither money nor fame!

The family expects the B test to come up positive.

I just don't get it. I don't understand if the problem is too hard to police or if the cycling world has no real interest in controlling doping.
