I am trying to procure for a veteran mechanic (25yrs) the last 20
minutes of this year's Tour de France. He recorded all of the coverage
except that portion. If any of you could help complete this bit he
would be very appreciative as would I. I will be out of town until
Monday but will check my mail when I return.
It's bittersweet coverage at best but after speaking with an avid
cyclist/customer that happens to be a doctor today at the shop, I
encourage you all to speak with your medical friends to get the
technical/clinical information about Floyd's situation and draw your
own conclusions. It seems as though there are general untruths being
printed about the tests and the imbalances in his chemistry. Did you
know that testosterone patches are commonly used to aid in recovery
after some stages? This is not illegal as I understand but the
epitestosterone(sp) must also be elevated to maintain the acceptable
ratio.(pill form) Well, anyway, I found this 20 minute
disclosure very interesting and I hope in the future the tests and the
rules are more absolute before the powers that be start pointing
fingers and ruining careers and the sport.
Wear out that bike stuff!!
Sincerely, Gary Hostetler
