Rather, his bad day was much like what eventually happens to a sleep-deprived student at exam time: his overtaxed body forced him to take a break. After he slowed down and lost the lead, Mr. Landis&#8217;s average power output fell by about one-third.<\/p>\n<p>Before cyclists began adopting illicit methods for boosting their levels of oxygen-rich red cells during the 1990&#8217;s, such events were so common that French riders called them &#8220;jours sans,&#8221; or &#8220;days without.&#8221; During this year&#8217;s Tour, which saw several favorites excluded because of doping investigations, jours sans have made something of a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>For Landis, Lim said, the enforced break from the action during his collapse probably gave him an edge on the following, winning day.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-size:10px;\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/cycling\" rel=\"tag\">cycling<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/landis\" rel=\"tag\">landis<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/sport\" rel=\"tag\">sport<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to believe that Tyler Hamilton hadn&#8217;t doped two years ago.
