Landis: Steriods?

Floyd, say it isn't so:
Team says Landis tested positive during Tour de France

LONDON (AP) -- 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.

The Phonak team suspended Landis, pending results of the backup "B" sample of his drug test. If Landis is found guilty of doping, he could be stripped of the Tour title, and Spain's Oscar Pereiro would become champion.

If it is true, why did Floyd think he had a chance to get away with it? If there is a viable explanation, I would welcome it.
