Dope Free Friday: Cancelled Due To Exceptional Circumstance

We almost bought some champagne when we heard the result of the USADA hearing. But we didn't, largely because we were feeling a bit hypocritical after the criticisms we've been making about the UCI's handling of the Valverde case.

But whatever. This is Floyd Landis we're talking about, and we're definitely not going to go soft on the apple-faced twat. Tonight we will know the wank of the victorious, in full knowledge that he won't be racing until 2009.

We're saving reading the comments fields on Trust But Verify until bedtime tonight, so we can sleep the most contented of sleep.

A final, hilarious thing from floydlandis.com that somebody emailed us:
This may not be the place to ask this question, but it is the first place that I could find to post. I have been thinking about testosterone, the things that Floyd did differently the night before the test was conducted( have a few drinks), and where testosterone has been recorded in nature.
1)The only thing that Floyd did differently was have a drink of beer.
2) Beer is made mostly from water.
3)The water used to make the beer came from somewhere. My guess is from a "mountain stream" or maybe from a public water supply well or river or lake.
4)I make the assumpton that the beer was made in Europe.
5)I am unfamiliar with the water testing rules in Europe for water to be consumed by humans but, most likely it does not test for testosterone.

The question I would like to have an answer to: Has the beer been tested for testosterone? There must be a way to determine the lot number and the manufacturer of th beer. Test the water used to make the beer.

Thank you for considering this idea. If this has already been discussed, then please disregard.

Sincerely,
Todd Keyser

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
