I just listened to Floyd's teleconference. I am speechless. He sounds absolutely torn up. Hes choking with emotion.
The bottom line here is that this is not a positive doping test. It is an abnormal testosterone-epitestosterone test. He has to prove that this occurred naturally, or that there was a mistake with his A sample.

Did you do it, bro?"
He said, "No, c'mon man," in what would turn out to be the first of several denials.
I want very badly to believe him.
Landis had been crying. Not for himself -- he'd just gotten off the phone with his mother, Arlene, who has been driven from the family home in Farmersville, Pa., by reporters scavenging for quotes. "I know it's their job," he said, sadly, "but they need to leave her out of this."
The A sample from the urine test to which he submitted after Stage 17 shows "an unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone." Landis told me he "can't be hopeful" that the B sample will be any different than the A. "I'm a realist," he said
