Tour de France champion Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race, his Phonak team said Thursday on its Web site.


Geeeez, I hope it's not true.........

Oh geesh..

I would think with the problems he had with his hip, he was on SOME kind of medication..

There is some talk about that in the article and on other sites I looked at. Much of this is still unknowable yet; I'm just hoping there is, infact, a logical reason that excessive testosterone showed up in his system.

Probably comparing his level to that of old one-nut Lance.

Or the French riders.

I kind of thought you were an idiot, thanks for removing all doubt.

Touchy subject?

It was a joke, lighten up Francis.

It seems as though there's an "A" specimen that was tested for doping, which did not pass muster, and that there is a "B" specimen that has yet to be examined/verified.

Let's hope he can be exonerated in the next few days.

I hope it's not true, either. What a black mark that would be.

3,653.6 km: the total distance


For a guy who needs a hip replacement - soon as - that's one hell of an accomplishment.
