Default Tour de France

On July 27, 2006, an anti-doping test conducted after Landis's ride in Stage 17 revealed an "unusually high" (11:1) ratio of the hormone testosterone to epitestosterone in his urine. Later the same day, Landis denied the accusations.[4] Landis has requested follow-up testing to either confirm or refute the initial positive result. Follow-up testing of sample B has confirmed this finding, Landis will and should become the second winner of the Tour de France to lose his yellow jersey.

He has 30 days to appeal. The thing that makes the doping have some teeth, to me anyway, Is segment #12 where he made up 8 min on the field? Now I don't know anything about bike raceing but I would guess that making up 8 min. on a world class field of bike riders would have some questions.
