Floyd Landis Tested Positive For Steroids

Floyd Landis… cheater?Tour de France winner, Floyd Landis tested positive for steroids during cycling’s most prestigious race and now his title could be stripped from him, depending on the results of a back-up sample that still needs to be tested.  If the result is positive again, Spain’s Oscar Pereiro would be the new Tour de France winner.  Naturally there is already a lot of politicking on both sides from those that believe the first test is proof enough and from Landis himself who believes that he did nothing wrong and has requested to have the back-up sample to be tested to prove his innocence.  The results of that test would not be made public until two weeks from when the test is done, so it could be a few weeks before Landis is cleared of any charges for doping or if he is proven to have cheated.  Stay tuned.
