NEW YORK (AP) — Lab tests show that some of the testosterone in Floyd Landis’ urine sample taken at the Tour de France was synthetic and not naturally produced by his body as he had claimed, according to a newspaper report.

Edit: AP credits NY Times with breaking the story on its Web site.

Cheater.

This virtually guarantees I'll never run another Tour de France story.

Not good for the young ex-Mennonite. Not good at all.

Guys, let'e not go overboard. He cheated and got caught.

You and i cheated on tests in high school.
McGwire cheated.
Bonds cheated.
Sosa cheated.
Gatlin cheated.
Lance Armstrong cheated.

Ban Landis for life, take away his yellow jersey, and scrap the race. Not that i paid attention in the first place.

I never cheated in HS or college. I'm not perfect, but I know right from wrong. Assuming this is true, and the evidence continues to mount, it's really wrong. The only hope for the Tour might be to just do away with drug testing and open it up to the freaks.

Kind of like the SNL sketch with the All Drug Olympics.

"He's pulled his arms off!"

Don't jump to any conclusions y'all.

Last time I went on the Jack Daniels distillery tour, I seem to remember something about artificial testosterone being a new addition to the formula for 2006.

Or maybe he should blame a twin brother who never was born.

Maybe not, but you're sure better than me and my pals ... I'm still wiping biology quiz answers off my palm ...

I'm sorry shot. This was too enticing. ;D

If you hadn't, someone else would've. ;)

I don't care if I get yelled at for it, and I don't care if it makes me sound like a yellow-wristband-wearing homer, but there is still no real evidence of Lance cheating. Otherwise, carry on.

EDIT: Actually, now that I look at that list, none of them have actually been confirmed. Though most are quite close. But still.

I didn't cheat in H.S. I failed sometimes, but I never cheated. In any case, a kid cheating on a test in high school is a horrible comparison. Should we throw that kid in jail for 30 years? I mean, he's a cheat just like Ken Lay was.

What is overboard and what isn't? If you are a sports fan, and you care passionately about those sports, I'd imagine all of those athletes cheating has ruined your enjoyment of those sports irreparably.

I said it before, I'll say it again

He shoulda used a scrotum patch.

And, A_F, I never cheated on a test in school. That (partially) explains my 2.75 GPA.

 

[John]

I copied homework from time to time, and allowed others to copy mine, but I was always too afraid to cheat on a test. I always imagined the look on my mother's face if I got caught. I was too afraid to imagine the look on my father's face.

I was going to say LANDISTRONG, in support of those with low testosterone. We'd make a killing.

Tex, you yellow-wristband-wearing homer, you are technically correct. There isn't enough on Lance to stand up in court. But the parade of massive red flags raised on him over the years, along with the continually mounting evidence that all of cycling's big guns have been juicing for years and still are, is enough for me. In the court of this man's opinion, Lance is guilty as charged.

and if he somehow didn't use EPO/doping/whatever and still beat a bunch of guys who have since been busted for using the stuff, he's clearly the greatest athlete in the history of all sports.
