"His legal team affirmed they will be backing Landis's fight to clear his name, but initial prospects aren't good given the list of excuses they've reeled out in recent days to explain his positive test result. Dehydration, cortisone injections into his crumbling hip, too much Jack Daniel's and a long-standing testosterone imbalance have all been put forward as potential reasons for Landis's positive test. However, none of them explains how the testosterone found in the American's system apparently comes from an outside source."
Like Lou said, "Stick a fork in him and turn him over. He's done."
Well, that pretty much dashes all hope for me. Landis is a very, very bad boy. Just like Ullrich, I figured him all wrong. He seemed like such a good person.

Go after the test procedure, chain of custody, procedural grounds. Keep loudly proclaiming that the UCI leaked the result and trample don the rights of the rider. Draw attention away from the test results, provide no explanation for the positives. Apply for every continuance and drag the process out as long as possible. Lawyer only has to get lucky on one aspect of the whole process.
None of the above has any significance to the reality-based community, but all of pro cycling is in la la land now, apparently.

He probably is a good person, but if he wants to compete in the world of professional cycling then he has to do what all the others are doing.

Good summation, counselor. :-)
If the law is in your favor, pound the law. If the facts are in your favor, pound the facts. If neither are in your favor, pound the table.

If the case is against WADA, pound your [censored].

The carbon isotope suggests that it was external. I'd like to hear from other experts about whether this is the case, and to have the samples tested in a different laborary. If they come to the same conclusions, then it be hard to give Landis the benefit of the doubt. But for me, I'm holding out until we get a second opinion from another lab.

Are you a member of the Flat Earth Society?
I am, and I also know that test results can be interpreted in radically different ways.
