Doping?

If it hasn't been painfully aware yet, cycling is important in our household. Marcus had a gentleman's bet with his best friend as to the Tour winner. It was no surprise that Floyd Landis became embroiled in a doping scandal. Charges were levereged against Lance for every single one of his Tour wins. The claim is that Landis' testosterone/epitestosterone ratio is off. Nevermind that the ratio has been changed this year from 6:1 to 4:1, that some men naturally produce more testosterone, etc. I shouldn't have been brought up unless the secondary tests proves something amiss. I hope that Floyd is cleared of these accusations, but I guess it's something you've got to get used to if you're an American cyclist.
