I've tested positive on the isotope test. Twice.  And I didn't dope.
On second test, I had to pay out of my own pocket.  I'm no longer an
athlete (was never even close to being a professional one when I went
positive) and the second test was 4 months ago.  I can see how people
could question the first one.  But the more recent one?  Like I would
need to dope in order to drink beer and surf up internet porn.  Use
some common sense folks.  If doping is one but not the only
explanation, then you've got to perform some additional tests and
narrow it down and be certain.

In a way, I hope Floyd is guilty.  I would truly hate to think that
someone who was actually talented and making a living competing clean
was tagged due to someone half-assing the test and interpretation.  At
least I was not talented and it doesn't really affect me ('cept I'm out
a good chunk of cash).  If I was talented, I would be so pissed that I
would most certainly write another paragraph.
