i respect your opinion, jane, but what some consider cynicism others consider realism. i've been around a lot of drugs in sport myself and that, plus the revelations in pro cycling since 98 have definitely shaped my opinion.

as for comments from floyd, many convicted dopers have made those seem quite worthless.

if he passes the b test that will be great. but yes, i'll still have my suspicion. sorry.
