Yeah, now if only he would have mentioned that the percentage of C13 in
natural testosterone and that in synthetic testosterone overlaps. While you
can detect the specific ratios of C12 to C13 you cannot determine whether it
is natural or synthetic.

But you can compare it with the ratios of C12/C13 in other hormones taken
from the same person in the same sample. Which is what the test does.

Not if they have different rates of production in the body. For instance,
what if Floyd had a steak the night before? His Cholesterol would almost
immediately have a different ratio since it is almost instant whereas the
testosterone is a more complex equation and the change in ratios would occur
at a different rate.

Anyone notice how the UCI was willing to bleed out information negative to
Landis but they don't seem to be supplying any REAL information.
