Email Bag: Landis Could Be Like the Martini Ad

Reader "E" from England passes on this note:

I have been following the story about Floyd Landis having testosterone in his system. 3 years ago my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and when I looked into the causes of this disease one thing stood out is the majority of men who get this disease have high testosterone levels. Looking back to when my husband was younger he was like the martini advert — anywhere, anyplace, anytime. Maybe Floyd would be advised to have a PSA test to see what his levels are. Prostate cancer can strike any age and if he is a borderline case this would explain the reading. Please pass this email on to him. You never know it might just save his life.

Thanks for the note, E. I almost hesitate to pass this on to Floyd the next time he hooks into one of our Clayton Road rides, as the last thing he needs is a new excuse to trot out. But you're right—maybe he is like the martini ad (or perhaps even the Energizer Bunny) and he should get the PSA test. I hope this finds your husband in good health.
