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.

So, does this mean Mr. Landis will have his title taken back?

We were discussing this in another thread. Major suckage, assuming he also fails the test on his other sample.

WOW! A male being tested positive for a male hormone. Now that is something new.

I guess the French riders tested positive for Estrogen.

This is highly suspect since he's in France, none of their males have any.

No matter what, the joke has to be said:

Are the French whining because an American tested more manly than them?

"unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone ratio"

I guess the French aren't used to seeing levels above 0.0.

Taking massive amounts of Zinc, and also using a sleeping supplement like Z-Mass or any other sleeping recovery supplement.

It's big news for the french. Since they have no balls, they don't know what it is like to test positive for male hormones.
