Floyd Landis has admitted he used a wide array of performance-enhancing drugs during a cycling career that included a nullified victory at the 2006 Tour de France. But Landis also has leveled an accusation at Lance Armstrong, his former U.S. Postal Team teammate, saying the seven-time Tour winner also was a drug cheat.
Armstrong has faced doping accusations before, and always has issued a total denial. One allegation came from the wife of a prominent cyclist who said she heard Armstrong confess PED use in his hopsital room, in the ’90s. Others came when the book L.A. Confidential was published.
Armstrong has often said he has been “the most tested athlete in the world,” but he hasn’t commented yet on Landis’ accusation. Armstrong has a big Twitter following and tweets almost daily on cycling developments, but nothing has been posted there today, so far.

College-bound high school students who took the SATs on May 1, are probably nervous with anticipation today, as scores have just been released. Students can log online to the College Board website to access their SAT score report. A signup is required in order to log in. Scores for SAT II Subject Tests are also available. Paper copies of scores will be mailed beginning May 28.
The SATs are the bane of nearly every high school student’s existence – it’s one of the leading factors determining a student’s fate for the next four years. It’s also a grueling process involving hours of studying and more studying, the outcome of which is based on 1600-point system. Even when achieving the elusive, but possible 1600 perfect score, it doesn’t guarantee admission into the nation’s most elite universities.
The College Board, a nonprofit organization, owns and publishes the test, while the Educational Testing Service administers it. The SATs were first established in 1901 as a test to determine a student’s readiness for college. There are three parts to the test: math, critical reading, and writing. Three hours and forty-five minutes are allotted to take the test and students must pay $45.
Test Take, What Happens Next with the SAT
While students wait for their scores, the College Board is behind the scenes processing each test. Once the test is delivered to a supervisor, the College Board guarantees that each test is securely monitored until it is delivered to the Board’s processing center.
Next, each test is scanned and analyzed to come up with a raw score – or “the sum of points you earned based on the number of questions you answered correctly, minus a fraction of the number of questions that you answered incorrectly.” For essays, two qualified readers will read and score them. If the readers’ scores have more than a one point difference, a scoring director will read and give the final score.
The raw SAT score is then converted to a scaled score based on a 200-800-point scale. Finally, scores are released. Students can first access their scores online at the “My Organizer” section of the College Board website. Students will need a login name and password to view their result

Rooney misses Bolton match, Van der Sar back in starting XI
Wayne Rooney will miss Manchester United`s game against Bolton Wanderers due to a calf strain while Edwin van der Sar returns to the starting line up.
Man United boss Alex Ferguson confirmed on Friday that England striker Rooney will miss Saturday`s match against Bolton and admitted he also had doubts over his availability for the Reds’ Champions League fixture against CSKA Moscow, next Tuesday.
`Rooney’s out – that’s the one certainty,` Fergie said. `We’re doing our best to get him fit for Wednesday but I’ve got my doubts.
`Wayne has a calf injury and they can be troublesome. I certainly hope he’ll be fit for Liverpool (next Sunday). Because it’s a calf strain we know how difficult these things can be. We won’t be taking any chances in Moscow.`
Ferguson also received good news from his medical staff: Edwin van der Sar has recovered from his hand injury and is able to play against Bolton tomorrow. ( Live Scores Soccer )
The Dutch goalkeeper made his comeback on October 6th with the reserves in a match against Everton.
`Edwin’s fit and he plays tomorrow. He had a Reserves game about 10 days ago and came through that fine.
`He`s trained for quite a while now but because it was a hand injury, you don`t take any chances.`
The game he had in the Reserves was that confidence booster he needed. Now he’s fit, he’s fine and he’ll play against Bolton.`
Besides the absence of Rooney there may be two other players who`ll miss the North-West derby: Dimitar Berbatov is yet to return from Bulgaria, where his girlfriend gave birth this week while midfielder Darren Fletcher picked up an injury on international duty with Scotland. ( Live Scores Soccer )
`I think everyone else is okay,` Sir Alex said. `There are one or two bumps and bruises but nothing serious. And after the disappointment of Sunderland, this is an important game for us.` Source
