Well this doesn't help ... so far Landis has come up with a flurry of possible reasons for the positive test:

- medicine for his thyroid condition
- cortisone shot for his degenerative vascular necrosis hip condition
- the bottle of Jack Daniels he had the night before stage 17
- and -- my personal favorite -- naturally high testosterone levels that did not show up in any previous tests

Brilliant. While initialing proclaiming that the B sample would clear him, he is now saying that the B sample will be positive as well, but he didn't cheat.

Another thing I like is that his defenders are saying that the positive testosterone test doesn't make any sense because it has nothing to do with endurance or strength, just recovery. Yet all the people who were flabbergasted at his comeback in stage 17 were amazed at how he was able to "recover" and perform so well when it looked like he was down and out the day before.

Sometimes people don't think their stories all the way to the end.
