BREAKING NEWS : Landis loses verdict, must forfeit Tour title


A 3-man arbitration panel rules that cyclist used drugs to win 2006 race.?? Floyd Landis lost his expensive and explosive doping case Thursday when the arbitrators upheld the results of a test that showed the 2006 champion used synthetic testosterone to fuel his spectacular comeback victory, The Associated Press has learned. The decision means Landis, who repeatedly has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, must forfeit his Tour de France title and is subject to a two-year ban, retroactive to Jan. 30, 2007.

The ruling, handed down nearly four months after a bizarre and bitterly fought hearing, leaves the American with one final way to possibly salvage his title ? an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.? Source
