Ouch!!!
In all the shock and horror about the news that Tour de France cycling race winner Floyd Landis tested positive to testosterone and faces disqualification and having his win stripped off him, the thing I cringed at was this little gem.
Testosterone doping anecdotes expose the technique of transdermal testosterone patches applied to the testicles for 6 to 8 hours, optimising recovery.
I can tell you that no matter how much I wanted to win something, I couldn’t see myself sticking patches to my nuts. I imagine it would be like putting a bandaid on them …. wouldn’t removing it be a barrel of fun?
Floyd Landis is denying the doping allegations, claiming he has naturally high testosterone levels. Does this mean he has a huge pair of balls? I would have thought that would get in the way of being a good cyclist.
Finally, what an amazing surprise that cycling has a drug scandal …. and I always thought it was clean.

It really does get in Mrs Marsh, like ink into chalk.

As cyclists generally shave the legs, perhaps he just did the family jewels at the same time. This is not suggested as I shaved my balls and I had itchy nuts for weeks.
