The International Cycling Union announced early Saturday morning that Landis had officially failed a drug test from the race. In response, his Swiss-based Phonak team fired him. Landis also may become the first Tour champion in the race’s 103-year history to be stripped of his title because of doping allegations.

Landis also may become the first Tour champion in the race’s 103-year history to be stripped of his title because of doping allegations. Some are considering whether GEN-X'ers should be banned permanently from the race. "This never happened when the boomer's were here."

Thanks for the ping & thanks the for post in that order. I still cannot understand how anyone could put himself in this position, knowing the scrutiny that is placed on tour participants.
