The French SABATOGED Landis' Test

[MattManNWO]

The French hate the U.S. for taking over their competition year after year. Thus, the reason why I think the French sabotaged Landis' test.

THEY DID!

Why those ungrateful creatures....

I saw the thread title and it reminded me of the same thing that I thought a few days ago, before realizing how stupid it sounded. Damn Landis, I really hope someone did tamper with the samples even though it's highly unlikely.

Sarcasm never translates well on the Internet...judging from my experiences.

I pretty much have no use for smilies.

[MattManNWO]

Honestly, I can't believe nobody agrees with my viewpoint.

[montrealer]

Unless the " Juiced Baguette" was shoved up his ass.....I won`t believe it.

[In Mo I Trust]

Landis seems to be scrambling badly for an excuse.

As for the accuracy of the tests that measured his testosterone ratio, Landis told ESPN "Based on the results I see couple possible explanations, either the test doesn't work at all or something happened to the urine sample, I don't know which & I'm not going to speculate."

(...)

Landis said there's "zero chance" someone on the Phonak team gave him testosterone -- either by accident or on purpose. But he didn't discount some kind of conspiracy by the UCI or WADA.

"There's some kind of agenda there," he told USA Today. "I just don't know what it is."

Ofcourse it is a conspiracy.

:rolleyes:

Just when Freedom Fries were finally changed back to French Fries at the Capitol!

So, gun to your head and you have to choose between Bubba or using a smilie.... which one will it be?

The reason most people dont think its sabatoge is because Landis was giving the dumbest excuses after he failed the first test, sabatoge not being one of them. ANd if they really wanted to hurt american cred in cycling, they shouldve sabatoged Lance's, not FLOYD

Listen, the dude wasn't surrounded by lawyers when the news hit. Instead he was surrounded by media. I know Floyd personally, he's a normal dude and not a PR guy. His first instinct since he knew he wasn't guilty, was that it must have been produced naturally.

He's not saying it's necessarily a grand conspiracy, just that something is fishy, which it is. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that protocol was not followed and that's something that needs to be investigated. These tests are supposed to be random and anonymous to the testers - yet they had the riders' names and numbers assigned to each sample. That's not very neutral.

Sabotage Lance? Where have you been for the past 6 years?? Lance had to defend every title from allegations of drug use since his first. Stories that ranged from midnight dumpster missions (a Postal Service employee was alledgedly seen dumping empty bags of blood into a dumpster in 2000) to former employees of the Postal team coming out and saying they watched Lance stick needles full of bull testosterone in himself.

This all makes sabotage on Floyd seem that much more plausible. The French finally get rid of Lance in their race, only to see the title taken over by another American in one amazing stage.

This story is not over yet. Nowhere near over...
