Floyd Landis test upheld in arbitration

Paris, France, September 20: Floyd Landis’s test showing the use of synthetic testosterone during the 2006 Tour de France, was upheld by the arbitrators today.

Landis now has only the option to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, otherwise he must forfeit his 2006 Tour de France title and face a 2 year ban. That would basically also mean that Landis thus would be the first person in the history of the Tour de France to lose the title because of doping.
