L'Equipe lays le smackdown on my theory

For the final say on the effects of Testosterone, I tried to find some reactions from the French about the Landis positive test. L'Equipe, even while blasting Landis, said the following:

"Testosterone is not a stimulant with immediate effects, even if it has been used in the search for such results in fight sports... It does not give an immediate boost but has a long-term effect on the power of the engine."

So stage 17 lives on after all...
