Of note, and I heard this on a podcast Gladys has downloaded for me and not the fourm is that Floyd's ride on stage 17 of the TdF was not remarkable under statistical analysis.  What I mean by that is that Floyd didn't make up any time on the peloton during the climbs; he gained his advantage during the descents.  Also, he was the only rider on that stage that had a team car next to him for the duration of his breakaway, and dumped an incredible amount of water over himself to keep his core temperature low during a day when temperatures were 38-42°C.

Floyd is not only defending himself against critics, but he's trying to mount what his team calls the "Wikipedia defense" - they're looking for participation from the forum members (many of whom have the professional credentials to follow critically the procedures and protocols of a drug test) in mounting a defense.

Geoscience is rocks, fer crying out loud.  If you are going to write an article on GENOMICS you should at least get the basic vocabulary right!

"You know, you cannot exercise your powers to the point of humiliation for the others. And that is what the western world, not only the Americans, the western world has to realize, because they are human beings too, and there are long-term consequences if you don't look hard at the reality in 10 or 20 or 30 years from now. And I do think that the western world is going to be too rich in realtion to the poor world. And necessarily, you know, we're looked upon as being arrogant, self-satisfying, greedy and with no limits. And the 11th of September is an occasion for me to realize that it's even more."

So then I remembered Tomato Nation.
