Landis Tests Positive For “Synthetic Testosterone

Baseball, football, cycling, all the same. The dope in football too, but they don't test during the off season, so you get in your cycles in the off season. Everyone knew ballplayers were on steroids, you believed Bo Jackson was natural? There is too much money involved, so to keep up you have to do what the others are doing to enhance their performance. The sad fact is that if you don't cheat with the others, you get left behind.

I find it hard to believe that testosterone works THAT fast.  I was under the assumption that it would take at least a week to even start seeing the effects.  I guess these days, they have every drug for every purpose.

I dont find it hard to believe that it works fast.
think about how fast you'd feel wrong if they cut your balls off.
its like the opposite of that

Have yours been cut off? Is that how you know this?

The results of the B test are also positive.

Now the legal battles starts, and it can take a year before that is done.

Was it done by the same lab? Given the incident last year with Armstrong, I'd feel a lot more confident with a different lab and sample taken ASAP than the previous.
