  The New York Times Play Magazine is featuring an interesting portrait of Floyd Landis and his fantastically expensive self-defense. I'm not sure if this is a subscription-only article, but here's the link:

  What a mess. It's true he's made himself appear guilty at every turn. And it may be true that he is somewhat of a victim here. But, I am very, very suspicious--and, I have to admit, I think he was indeed caught, and he is doing his best to backpedal.

  It's hard to imagine anyone would go to that expense and devote so much energy to cover a lie, but I guess that's how high the stakes are. I did find the stuff about Greg LeMond especially weird; I hadn't followed the story that closely.

  There are a lot of very strange things about these stories, including bizarre behaviors of the testing labs. However, there are also the added problems of translation from the French, and sports reporters trying to summarize technical information that they clearly don't understand. I can only conclude that it's just not possible to figure out what's going on, from following the news reports.

  You need look no further than Landis's mother to believe that the elevated testosterone level is hereditary.
