Heras' second test positive...i cant quite believe it. Why would he
risk so much?
why is evidence so heavy against Tyler Hamilton and yet his vehement
defence of his innocence make it seem that he is right?
How come every test on Marco was clean during the 99 Giro, up til the
final stages where he 'suddenly' shot up in haematacrit levels?

Who do we believe? The stars themselves or the tests? There always
will be people that cheat but what if we were wrong about some of the
bigger names???
How reliable ARE these tests?

sad indeed.....I know that Tyler and Heras will fight through the
courts but unfortunatly for them, whats written on those pieces of
paper entitled 'Lab results' will be what the jury decides on and
nothing else.
If only we could do what the shops do with notes of currency and hold
them up to ultra-violet light and say 'yip - this rider is genuine' :)

I know Im clean and always have been...although i have raced a handful
of times with a fair bit of night before booze in my system! NOt that
was an advantage...after riding a crit once, i got 6th in the sprint
and then threw up. I felt like crap all the way round. 10pints of
guinness,a night club and a curry are how NOT to prepare for a race
