Some food for thought. The IOC uses a pretty much foolproof blood test, the UCI uses a cheap and much less reliable urine test. Also, the IOC itself (keeping in mind that they don't do cycling testing) have found individuals with naturally occuring t/e ratios of higher than 6:1 - cyclings standard is a much more strict 4:1 - and thus don't consider a test result as positive until the subject undergoes endocrinolgic testing to determine what his naturally occuring range is.

Another thing-Floyd's power output (downloaded from his powermeter on the bike) has been available publicly since stage 18. Nothing unusual about it-the output was rather pedestrian for an elite athlete. Floyd got the huge time back as much from a tactical miscalculation by his opponents as anything else.


This is not yet a positive result.

And yes, you would have to be an ass not to expect to get caught for something this obvious, adding to evidence of innocence.
