Floyd Landis Update

Here's the latest on the Floyd Landis story:

Floyd Landis's Alcohol Defense - The Wall Street Journal looks into the science behind the assertion that alcohol consumption may explain why Landis' drug test after stage 17 of the Tour de France may have showed an elevated testosterone level when none of his other six drug tests during the race did. The story also casts doubt on the report that a test had showed Landis had synthetic testosterone in his system.
