So this is what sports has come to in this day and age.
It seems as though no one is (justifiably) above suspicion anymore. Does anyone compete and NOT cheat? Are you sure?
From The AP:
LONDON (AP) -- Tour de France champion Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race, his Phonak team said Thursday on its website.Surprised at the levels or surprised they were detected?
The statement came a day after cycling's world governing body said an unidentified rider had failed a drug test during the Tour.
The Swiss-based Phonak said in a statement on it website that it was notified by the UCI Wednesday that Landis' sample showed "an unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone" when he was tested after stage 17 of the race last Thursday.
"The team management and the rider were both totally surprised of this physiological result," the statement said.
Sigh.
And so it goes.
