Via Taranto:
Worse Yet, He Tested Negative for Cheese

Well, Testosterone is a foriegn substance in French males. Probably hasn't been well known since the end of WWI.
I really wonder how these tests are done. What makes the amount unusual? Do they take a baseline sample and then understand how the athlete's bodies react to the extreme stress of the race? I wish I knew more on the topic. I suppose I should visit google on this.
Nice to see you around periodically. Hope you can come back more frequently.
