Cyclingnews' complete coverage of the Floyd Landis case

On July 27, 2006, it was revealed that Tour de France winner Floyd Landis had returned a positive test for an abnormal ratio of testosterone: epitestosterone in an anti-doping test conducted after his victory in stage 17 of the Tour de France. The B-sample test confirmed the result and Landis was fired by his team, Phonak, which later indicated it would cease at the end of 2006 following the withdrawal of new major sponsor iShares.

Other repercussions of the Landis case have included a complete examination of the struture of pro cycling, announced August 9 by UCI president Pat McQaid, the threatened end of TV coverage of the Tour in Germany and the withdrawal of Tour vehicle sponsor Skoda. Landis continues to protest his innocence, but the fall-out from his positive test continues to spread.
