Floyd Landis Loses Doping Case; Must Forfeit Tour de France Title, Ego
READ MORE:
Floyd Landis opted to defend himself in this case against USADA which might have saved him some money, but it didn't save his Tour de France title.
Floyd Landis lost his expensive and explosive doping case Thursday when the arbitrators upheld the results of a test that showed the 2006 Tour de France champion used synthetic testosterone to fuel his spectacular comeback victory, The Associated Press has learned.

The decision means Landis, who repeatedly has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, must forfeit his Tour de France title and is subject to a two-year ban, retroactive to Jan. 30, 2007.

I don't think anyone is surprised. Landis' ascent to the 2006 victory was highlighted by one of the most impressive climbs in the history of the sport. We should have known.

sad but not surprising.    he was a great story until the news hit.   sadly, this probably closes this chapter and unless another American steps up and wins it or at least is a major factor at the end, the Tour will lose most of what little American audience it had.   oh well, it was a nice run for the Americans.

The French were the first to hold an auto racing event in 1895 and should have stuck to that instead of whining about Americans winning a bike race every year. This story is a waste of good pixels!

Tour De Who is this a retro band from Italy? I think their album was in the .99 cent bin at K-Mart?
