I was stunned to hear Floyd (live in the studio) on the Adam Corolla radio show this morning. Looks like he's gotten himself a publicist to help spread the word. He's also doing a LOT of damage control on his prior statements. With no mention of the already existing $100K offer, Floyd turned-down an offer by Corrola to do a lie detector test.
An hour later, Corrola and company seemed a little unconvinced with his story, thinking that he probably did it. I have to admit, Adam asked him some well pointed questions. Not all softball/ass kissing questions.

Fl doesn't present very well. That has nothing to do with his innocence or guilt but he does not argue his case very dynamically. Also troubling - at least to me- is what seems like very carefully crafted responses that do not categorically deny. For example saying "I never administered... ." Is not the same as saying I never used.

I think he does present quite well. He's a little bit whiney in the interviews I've heard, but he comes over as a basically likeable decent guy who is not at all media savvy - and that's probably a smart image for him to project. He's presenting himself as an ordinary Joe caught in a Kafka story. It's a credible presentation; the lack of slickness lends it credibility.

Remember, he did not grow up watching television and movies like the rest of us.

I still think he's probably guilty, though.
What's the problem with outright lying?
-- No, I never took any banned substances except those I declared in the list I submit to officials on race days. I am as pure as driven snow. Haven't had so much as an aspirin in five years.
See, that was not so hard.
-- How do you explain the positive test? -- It is not up to me to explain it. Ask WADA to explain it.

Define guilty.
Specifically, that he took exogenous testosterone (and possibly other drugs), and probably re-infused some red blood cells that he'd stored earlier; and that he did so in the knowledge that this was contrary to the rules of the race in which he was participating.
