Synthetic testosterone found in Landis

It was synthetic testosterone says an official. I suppose that pretty much seals the fate of Landis.

Floyd Landis' doping samples contained synthetic testosterone, indicating the Tour de France champion's elevated levels were not produced naturally, the head of France's anti-doping commission said Saturday.

A report this week in the New York Times cited an unidentified source from the UCI as saying an analysis of Landis' first sample by carbon isotope ratio testing had detected synthetic testosterone, which indicated it had been ingested.

Sorry Landis. I'll have to take back my "hero" label and give you a big fat ZERO. I would rather have you finish out of the top 20 than win by cheating. That is not the way Americans do things.
