It seems to be a let down for the Americans...

That kid Landis who just won the Tour de France seems to have tested positive for synthetic testosterone...

I guess Texas' Armstrong will be definetly be the end all, be all of American cycling.

Quote:

NEW YORK (AFP) - Some of the testosterone found in Tour de France winner Floyd Landis' "A" sample is from an external source and not his body's, The New York Times said quoting an unidentified International Cycling Union official.
The carbon isotope test on the first of Landis' two urine samples taken after his 17th stage win in last month's tour contains synthetic testosterone, said the official with knowledge of the results from France's Chatenay-Malabry antidoping laboratory.

We've been following this one in the newsroom... we even had a pool going!

Yes, but what about the 2nd test? That's the one we are all waiting on.

It pretty much stinks of cheating though... unless the French tainted the samples.
