"We may not trust the French..."
I don't have a problem with the French, I'd trust them before our Commander in Chimp...

Why, MCH! Are you suggesting that the President's mountain-bike muscles might be artificially enhanced?!?
28 - MCH
Uh, no...just that he's a liar...

Nah, it's even simpler than that Bush employs stunt doubles, just like Saddam did!

Hmmm... Perhaps the next step is to add DNA testing in bicycle racing, to make sure that races are not being won by stunt doubles.
For those who are ready to decry the French as biased in this matter, remember that the TdF is a French race, so all race-days testing is done under their aegis. This is why they do A and B samples, though. When there is a reason to investigate, the B sample is (supposed to be) tested by a completely different lab, with a more-thorough testing method.
Note: I read that Floyd Landis had signed to the Discovery team for future racing seasons, after his hip surgery is complete.

Can anyone make a case blaming Bush for Landis' disproportionate testosterone level?
32 - Christopher Rose
Maybe his daughters are to blame...

Easy, Landis carrys a photo of Bush around with him and everytime he looks at it his testosterone raises.

I think I saw him using some sun-screen during stage 16. It was brutally hot that day and he was applied some to his arms, legs and face, it might be tainted. As far as President Bush goes, all I know is he owned the Texas Rangers at one time and I happen to know many of those players were injected in his prescence. He frequented the locker room and was known to toss the fella's towels.
In fact just last week during the g-8 summit I believe an open mike picked up President Bush saying that the French had no balls and that someone should put some testosterone in their wine.

I am innocent....

It is a convincing argument that those drugs aren't that fast-acting and they should've shown up on earlier tests.

Suddenly a kid appears at the top of a French Hill with a Banjo playing "Dueling Landi"... is that the plural for Landis?

So, he dramatically blows up on Stage 16, losing not only the yellow jersey but over 10min. He is written off. Goes home and broods. Then he get's up the next morning and rides an epic stage 17 to claim near success (this didn't happen until his time trial 2 days later).
The notion that his failure on Stage 16 leads him to take a testosterone shot or patch and make such a dramatic comeback is not ony absurd, it lacks logic. Floyd has won the Tour of California in Feb and then the Tour of Georgia earlier this spring - both major wins. Following these races and several others, he is tested but never positive for Test. Keep in mind Test. is not a traditional performance enhancer. It is not something you take 1 day and the next your superman. It is cummulative. Suggesting that he took such corrective acion after nearly throwing his entire race away, is impossible - it just doesn't work that way.
That fact that he is proven guilty through this process before even his B sample, provides case point as to why the guillotine was found in France. Swift resolution through a non-due process of guilt. Take a look at the recent news of Just Gatlin. There were no reports prior to testing both A and B samples - which is formal testing methodology before any conclusive evidence can be gathered for further testing.
I could go on here, but I think you get the point. Media makes for good press.
