I went from not believing this was true, to condeming Landis (synthetic hormone) to now having very serious doubts about the chain of custody in the drug sample.

First - hitting the juice for one day does NOTHING. Unlike a stimulant or EPO it offers zero advantages for short term results.

Second, the guy was tested EIGHT times during the tour. Four times prior to the positive, then the positive, and three times after. Including three blood tests. None of the other samples and NONE of the blood tests showed this problem.

So - there's plenty of doctors on this site.... Somebody tell me two things:

1. How the hormone disappeared so quickly from his system that none of the other tests including the blood tests showed positive?
2. Why anyone would take a hormone hit for one day on 3 week race?
