Kicking him while he's down, Patrik Sinkewitz was informed on his hospital bed, that he had tested positive for elevated testosterone in a sample taken over a month ago. While recovering from a broken nose and missing teeth, his immediate reaction was "Me? Why me? I don't know anything about it. This can't be. I am due to have an operation and I can't think about it now." That doesn't sound like the reaction of a guilty man. In addition to Floyd Landis' well-publicized defense against testosterone doping, we have Italian Marco Fertonani protesting his adverse analytical finding from the same French lab that Landis claims botched his tests. We don't have any word yet which lab handled Sinkewitz's out of competition sample, but it would be another blow to WADA's credibility if the sample were handled at the former LNDD. German TV coverage halted their productions in protest, at least for today's stage.
