why such a delay (or need) for B tests...

All TdF riders are running pretty high anyway, by virtue of the distance
covered during the tour- energy levels would be higher than joe public
taking a ride around the countryside..

i am interested to see what base level Landis (and any other rider's) tests
were measured against..

I still think the Europeans, mostly the French, are sore losers and
can't stand that yet another American won.
After 3 weeks of riding wouldn't any red blooded male's testosterone be
elevated?

it doesnt matter (to me) what nationality the winner is- image the uproas if
a Frenhman had the same results, as a winner..?

I've had thoughts along these lines. What baselines are they using for
their standards? If they are using baselines for the population as
whole, then that's just wrong. Besides, how do *I* know it's elevated
testosterone and not low epitestosterone? For that matter, how do I
know that it's not just a lab tech who doesn't want another American to
win? After some of their shenanigans, I simply don't trust WADA. They
didn't seem to concerned about the mishandling of Lance's (and other
riders) B samples, so how can I trust that they've handled Landis'
samples correctly?

I meant "too" concerned.
