That hasn't been totally confirmed. They said he had high testosterone levels and are awaiting the results of another sample test. Hopefully, it's not indicative of some other problem, but it's strange that he suddenly disappeared when he was scheduled to race in Denmark.

We were following all the stages in the Alps and had a great time.

Camping in farmers fields, and on the fields at the top of the Col de Joux Plane with the views of Mt Blanc in the distance.

The opinion from the street was that this was the most exciting race in many years because it was so unpredictable. The yellow jersey traded hands so often and the race was undecided till the final Time Trial.

As to the failed A test, it was for testosterone, we have to remember that testosterone is a naturally variable hormone, so there may be an explanation other than he cheated, I hope so. If it turns out that Landis cheated, I will be very upset.
