Last week, after Floyd Landis’s crack-up in the Alps, I expressed a certain lack of enthusiasm for this year’s Tour, amidst all the doping revelations. The next day Landis recorded his stupendous win, and came back from a seemingly hopeless position. Now we’ve had the results of his doping test after that stage:
Tour de France winner Floyd Landis has given a positive drugs test, according to his Phonak team.
The 30-year-old American, who claimed victory in the Tour de France on Sunday, has tested positive for the male sex hormone testosterone.The positive test came after stage 17 of the Tour, which saw Landis record an epic victory after struggling on the final climb the day before.
Landis has been suspended pending results of his B sample analysis.
