Poll: Innocent or Guilty?

Interesting info from cyclingnews.com.

German doctor Kurt Moosburger, who has looked after J Jaksche (among others) for the past two years, has told dpa that he believes that performance enhancing drugs are "indispensable" for high level cycling

To help recover, testosterone and human growth hormone can be used. "Both are made by the body and are therefore natural substances," he said. "They help to build muscle as well as in muscle recovery."

Dr Moosburger explained how it was done. "You put a standard testosterone patch that is used for male hormone replacement therapy on your scrotum and leave it there for about six hours. The small dose is not sufficient to produce a positive urine result in the doping test, but the body actually recovers faster."

Could this be a scenario that would apply to Landis?

Would using a T patch account for Landis' remarkable stage 17 ride?

Also worth a listen to Phil Liggett's comments. There seem to be a lot of cycling experts saying that something doesn't smell right about the whole thing.

I hope you and this entire site all feel bloody stupid after he's admitted doing it.

Lance took Floyd under his wing earlier in his career when he was an average rider.

Floyd couldn't live up to expectations and had to resort to doping.

Now he's trying to deflect attention and bring everyone else down. God only knows why Lance is even having to defend himself against a proven liar and cheat, when Lance has never once failed a drugs test.

Floyd is rotten to the core. No question.

Dope addicted, mini-brains with no discernible sense of ethical behavior (riders and fans alike) have ruined a sport I loved. Goddamn cheating a-holes and the imbeciles that think it's all OK because "everyone does it" make me sick. No matter what is "won" you're ultimately pathetic losers.
