Tour De France Winner Flunks Drug Test:

Floyd Landis’ stunning Tour de France victory just four days earlier was thrown into question Thursday when his team said he tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race

Bah. Maybe auto racing is the thing to watch.

I agree with the comment on why the result was delayed until after the race. Surely they can test things much more quickly. The claim that a rider failed a test “during the Tour” suggests it wasn’t the final leg that is in question. And the two week delay to test the backup sample? What’s up with that?
