ADMINISTRATIVE ERRORS MADE IN FLOYD LANDIS' LAB SAMPLE

Floyd Landis' 120KM breakaway in the 2006 Tour De France is the stuff that legends are made of. After the retirement of Lance Armstrong, the field was wide open. Landis closed it. That was, until the allegations of testosterone arose. The French lab in charge of testing the cyclists urine samples stunned the cycling world by announcing that Floyd Landis' tests came back positive for elevated testosterone, effectively stripping him of his title and leaving him facing a two year suspension.
But now it seems that there were some errors made.
We tried to telephone the Châtenay-Malabry laboratory for comments, but they didn't speak English. Calls to Floyd Landis were not immediately returned.
But a friend of mine in a Thai food store was upset by the news.
"He ride a bike too much. He go 120KM to win Tour. That too far. I go four mile to work in one day, but I drive a car. He need drive a car. He ride a bike too much he get too hot. They say he take drugs and win a race. He no take drugs. He eat a Thai food. Thai food it make him a man. French food no make testosterone. French food same like soy. Make estrogen. He eat Thai food, he make a man. Make too much testosterone and win race."
