Thats what makes me think that he may not have cheated. First 6 places all get drugs tested, so why would you take drugs to win the race if you knew you were going to definately get tested?

Also: it was something to do with testosterone:epitosterone levels(I think that's what they were called anyway). Normal people have a ratio of 4:1, tour de france limit is 8:1. Landis had levels of 11:1. Some weight lifters have been found to have natural levels of up to 100:1, so it could possibly be natural. He lost about 10 mins the stage before his breakaway so he would have probably been really pumped up and really wanted to win.

Fair enough though, if he did do it, he's a tit

edit: I think all that info is right anyway

Yes but they found synthetic testostarone (sp) which is man made not made naturaly by the body.

Fair enough then, he's a tit To try and win by cheating when other people have put in so much training, and in most cases devoted their lives to it, is a bit shitty really
