LONDON (Reuters) - Tour de France winner Floyd Landis has given a positive drugs test for the male sex hormone testosterone, his Phonak team said on Thursday.

"The Phonak Cycling Team was notified yesterday by the UCI of an unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France," Phonak said in a team statement.

I wondered how long it would be before that bunch of bad sports and sore losers would launch accusations.

I did, too. I never imagined it would be within the first few days. Well, first the World Cup, and now this! They must be livid.

We don't normally take our queues from the MSM and we certainly don't take them from a poster who has been suspended for various posting abuses and has the rap sheet to prove it. Thanks, AM

Thanks for the explanation. Though it is a bit odd, since one of the mods has more suspensions than myself (I can recall receiving 2 for 'keyword abuse', which means there was probably a third, and maybe a flame war several years ago.)

But actually I am replying to ask a serious question. My original post actually wasn't intended to harass the mods, but I added them in the 'to' box because of the custom of pinging anyone/group when you discuss them in a post. Which of course then makes it looks like a barked attack. Perhaps that was a mistake. So in the future, do you want the 'Admin Moderator' pinged when we post anything discussing moderation, even if it is rhetorical and not actually a question or seeking a response?
