The problem is that, in the effort to 'catch' as many cheaters as possible, they are rushing more & more new tests into use. Some of the tests are pretty straightforeward, and there are drugs no one would seriously consider using, as they are too easy to find.

But there are other tests that rely on VERY delicate and often debatable testing procedures. This is what happened with Landis. The very standards of what should be considered 'high' testosterone, or what is is an 'acceptable' ratio is not universally agreed on. In the past few years, several riders who tested out of the 'normal' range were finally cleared after doctors showed that their bodies produced the results normally!!!

Should we ban riders who have an unfair advantage due to their own inner workings? Lance Armstrong has an unusually high ability for his blood to carry oxygen, and a pulse rate that allows him to exert himself with less adverse effects....like many Ethiopian distance runners. Should races be open only to athletes within a certain range of body types, like boxing?

There is a lot of circumstantial evidence and accounts that say Floyd did NOT cheat...and 'some' that say he might have cheated. I do not KNOW...and neither do you!
Let the investigators do their work and hope that they make the RIGHT decision....not just a decision based on some policy to punish vague suspicions.


(and if they give the title to Pererio or Kloeden, they will just be pushing the issue downward, hmmm? Are their tests available?)
