Swing and a Drive

Say it ain’t so, Floyd. Say it ain’t so.

First Harold Reynolds, now another American hero is caught in the turmoil of scandal. Floyd Lanids, everyone’s favorite Mennonite has been suspended from his team after testing positive for an unusual amount of testosterone after Stage 17 of the Tour de France (the stage where he made his incredible comeback). Landis is going to ask for the B sample he gave at the end of the stage to be analyzed in order to prove there was a mistake or that the high level of testosterone was caused by a natural process (Landis, being American, has bigger balls than most other cyclists, this could have lead to the unusual testing levels.) Landis’ team, Phonak, out of Switzerland, is comfirming the report and leaves me with no reason take a cheap shot at the French. So that sucks (like the French!).
