He's going to be cleared, McQuaid knows it's coming. It was the dope
steak from those unethical cattle ranchers that was responsible.
Filthy bastards.
You think? I'm not so sure. There is some momentum suggesting that perhaps
the positive tests are being triggered by food, but only because we don't
think anyone would be so stupid as to continue using the stuff after the
various positive tests that have come out. The thought being that athletes
aren't THAT stupid and if people are getting caught, it's time to move on to
something else.
But I'm back to thinking they'll do a token 4 month suspension, take away
his 2010 TdF win, and let him race this season. The plasticizers though...
do we have the last word on that? Was it ever confirmed that they showed up
in his samples? Or is it still such-and-such reported that... and nothing
from WADA or UCI?

Uh, Mike, has anyone ever told you that sarcasm is often used as a way
to make a point?
