As original sin. Unless he's one of those super-soldiers that Mulder ranted on about in the X-Files, there's no way in heck that a human being ends up peeing synthetic testosterone into a cup.
Voted : guilty
Second test -- positive for synthetic testosterone.
Must have affected his brain, if he thought he'd slip through in a sport that he knows tests for such substances.
Voted : innocent
that's why I question this test.
if he knew he would have to take a test, that tests for this substance, why in the world would he take it?
according to news, it's ingested. I wonder what he ate, and who provided the food/drink.

additionally, the tests after all the other leg of the race was found clean.
doesn't this substance stay in the bloodstream? also does it help immediately when someone takes this potion? I would have thought it would only help after repeated use, to build muscle.
I smell something fishy personally.

I think he is innocent. I mean they pulled the SAME thing with Lance Armstrong. I think there is more to this.
Two dirty tests seems to lend credence to the charges.
However; Landis does have a point in saying that by releasing the results publicly, it doesn't give him the fair chance to defend himself, and is a violation of their own rules.
Voted : innocent
Didnt do it
Voted : guilty
Guilty. I suffer from the same condition he has--aseptic vascular necrosis. It is extremely painful. When you walk (even with a cane or crutches) there are those frequent bad moments when it feels like you have broken a bone. How he completed the tour without chemical assistance is questionable.
guilty, however!! that being said, I am willing to put a year's salary on this bet: that the top 20 finishers in the Tour de France are dirty. That is how strongly I believe that this sport is tainted at this point. I really don't know how it's going to redeem itself.
That being said though, I don't want to take anything away from Landis being guilty, just because 'everyone is doing it' that doesn't make it right.
