What's unknown--and crucial--for Landis is the result of another test on his urine samples, the one that measures the carbon-isotope ratio. This examines the atomic makeup of the testosterone in Landis' body. If the ratio of carbon isotopes matches those found in synthetic testosterone, Landis will be in trouble. But even then, the debate might go on because some scientists say this particular test is not infallible. Says Dine: "With testosterone, there is no scientific consensus...
HOLLOW BOARDS MADE WITH CARBON FIBERS...
...core. No stringer. Aviso sandwiches 1/4 in. of honeycombed material or foam between sheets of unidirectional carbon fiber--for a strong matrix--then seals it with heat. The deck and bottom flex independently: the cavity gives the rocker room to straighten out, pulling the rails and allowing for more speed on turns. Caution: your wax job might melt on these black boards...
Salomon, a brand famous for its skis and snowboards, is getting wet. Its S-Core design creates a shock-absorber-like effect in the deck using three polypropylene foam stringers in a hollow carbon core enclosed by a foam shell--an airplane wing on the water. The composites in the deck and rigid carbon bottom optimize flex memory, which improves control, says Salomon...
