I heard Sutcliffe's comments yesterday. He says he's heard that some big names have tested positive and says it will all come out in the next couple of weeks. He seems to know names, but he won't say who. We'll see.

What I would like to hear, is EXACTLY what they are testing for. I've heard alot of 'talk' from the media, but I'm not sure I've heard anything from someone who's familiar with the testing process. Ie. what constitutes a positive test. How many types of steroids are there? Do they actually check for the presence of 'steroids' or just a certain testosterone level in an individual? I've been told by someone who used steroids that 'there's no way to actually test for steroids themselves, so they have to test for an inordinately high level of testosterone.' This was a few years ago, I have no idea whether it is/was true or not, or if he was just full of hot air. I've also read in a number of places, that there are numerous precursos, legal nutrional substances, that can cause a positive result when testing for steroids. Does anyone REALLY know?
