First off OZ no one dopes with testosterone during a race, It will do
nothing short term for preformance enhancement.

Yet it is still commonly found.....

The Phonak cycling team was quick to distance itself from Tour de
France winner Floyd Landis, but the smart money says Landis won't be
stripped of his title despite a positive test for ''elevated levels of
testosterone.''

Phonak suspended Landis and removed all references to him from its
website, but Landis intends to challenge the test results and history
appears to be on his side.

Landis told SI.com Thursday that an elevated level of testosterone is
different from a positive test and that this is a fairly common problem
among pro cyclists.

Yep, and also among weightlifters ;-)

Landis has retained Spanish doctor Luis Hernandez,
who has aided other riders' appeals of similar test results. Landis and
ESPN cycling analyst John Eustice both noted no cyclist has ever lost
an appeal of a test for elevated testosterone levels.

I'm sure....

Landis also said the next step is to submit to an endocrine test that
might help him prove he just happens to be a guy walking around with an
inordinate amount of testosterone in his blood.

I'm positive the endocrine test won't be done untill well after he's
been under the 'care' or Dr Hernandez ;-)


Can you explain why, if he had a naturally high level of testosterone
tat it didn't become evident in all previous tests?
As leader of the Tour, he would have been tested every day that he
wore the yellow jersey then suddenly he registers an abnormally high
ratio on the 17th day.

Well I can relate, when I set my mind to accomplishing anything hard my
testatrone spikes like Rodney King on crack. It's a man thing.
