What a disappointment, if it's confirmed.

Crap.

Stage 17 was a super-human effort, though. I can imagine the rationalization that went on.

What a damn shame.

Anybody out there know what this means: "an unusual level of Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio"

Worst news of the week. Hopefully there is some physiological reason for it (other than the obvious), like cold med's or some weird food he ate ... Yes, grasping at straws, but sheesh. For the sample to be from his 17th stage, too, really sux.

This is a copy of a press release I received from Phonak about 15 minutes ago. I posted it in the other thread, and I'll post it again here. I've been on Phonak's emailing list since the Tour de Georgia. Here's what the team had to say this morning:

The Phonak Cycling Team was notified yesterday by the UCI of an unusual level of Testosteron/Epitestosteron ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France.
The Team Management and the rider were both totally surprised of this physiological result.
The rider will ask in the upcoming days for the counter analysis to prove either that this result is coming from a natural process or that this is resulting from a mistake in the confirmation.
In application of the Pro Tour Ethical Code, the rider will not race anymore until this problem is totally clear.
If the result of the B sample analysis confirms the result of the A sample the rider will be dismissed and will then pass the corresponding endocrinological examinations.
Please understand that we cannot at this time give you more detailed comments.

this is just shameful and embarassing if it is him! If he knew it, how did he find the courage to step on the podium in Paris? What is left in the sport?

Don't know if this helps, found it on google.

Testosterone and epitestosterone are both synthesised by the body, so that in urine the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone is <6.
If a sport competitor takes testosterone as a performance enhancing drug, the ratio is increased above 6.

Steroids are also involved in the process that caused his hip problem...

Of course he was doping. How else would an American win the Tour?

Being Canadian and now living in the US. This feels just like Ben Jonhson all over again. Absolute high from the win. Then a punch in the stomach immediately afterwards. If it is true sad day.

I quess Jacques Anquetil maybe correct when he said that "the TdF is not won on mineral water alone."

Good news for Pro cycling!

We have now completed the cycle:

2005 Vuelta: Winner Positive (Heras)

2006 Giro: Winner Implicated (Basso)

2006 Tour: Winner Preliminary Positive (Landis).

I just hope they can keep up the streak at the 06 Vuelta.

BTW, fellow weekend warriors: let's not forget to pat ourselves on the back for doing what we do while holding full time jobs, raising kids -etc....without using drugs. I saw 2000 such people last weekend in Lake Placid & the joke's on the dopers. We win in the end, because we know we EARNED IT. Go us.

Cheers.

Well, look on the bright side, IF he is guilty he'll have two years to rehabilitate after his hip replacement surgery.

Testosterone patches placed on the testicles help athletes recover quickly. I hope after his bonking day he did not cave to the pressure and use this procedure.

Do you really think that every competitor was 100% clean of all doping regulations?

why would this be release before the B test is complete?? it's horrible. just horrible.

Because the media was going to find out anyway, either through a leak, or by figuring out which team/country was notified, or process of elimination by which teams/countries weren't notified.
