Tour De Doping

It seems the USA teams in the Tour De France can't avoid doping allegations. Well the invincible Lance Armstrong was able to win seven straight without testing positive; they tried numerous times to get him, but failed. Last years winner, Floyd Landis just wasn't that lucky as his positive testing for synthetic testosterone was upheld by arbitrator's Thursday. Landis has been banned for two years and has to forfeit last years crown.

Landis came back to win last years Tour DE France in stunning fashion. After a bike wreck in early stages put him back two plus hours in time, he was able to recoup and continue with the aid from the medics. Well it must have been more than pain killers that gave Landis the boost. In reality after Lance Armstrong, who won his last Tour DE France with one testicle, retired from bicycling who cares to watch. Floyd get another hobby.
