A French anti-doping laboratory has found synthetic testosterone in seven “B” samples taken from Floyd Landis during the 2006 Tour de France.
Landis, who has long-criticized the procedures at the lab, immediately said a representative of his defense team was blocked from entering the lab to observe technicians perform some of the tests. See FloydLandis.com.
The follow-up tests were ordered by the US Anti-Doping Agency, which is preparing a case against Landis, who was found to have a high testosterone/epitestosterone ratio after one stage of the Tour de France.
Probably a surprise to no one, the results were leaked to the French newspaper L'Equipe, which appears to be the publishing arm of the Laboratoire National de Dépistage du Dopage. No one else has seen the results. …

Janez Brajkovic, left, held off the challengers to win the 2007 Tour de Georgia on Sunday, becoming the first non-US cyclist to win the 5-year-old bike race.
Meanwhile, Argentinian sprinter J J Haedo repeated last year's feat by winning the last stage of the Tour, which ended in Atlanta with a 77-mile criterium race.
The overall win by the 23-year-old Discovery Channel cyclist from Slovenia is just one indicator of the growing international flavor of this stage tour, which has been dominated by Americans in previous years. Other winners were Chris Horner (2003), Lance Armstrong (2004), Tom Danielson (2005), and Floyd Landis (2006). …

This is the first stage win for the popular US cyclist on Predictor-Lotto since taking Stage 4 of the 2006 Tour de Georgia. He suffered a very bad fall during last year's Tour de France which kept him out of contention for awhile.
In the overall battle for the yellow jersey, Discovery Channel's Janez Brajkovic of Slovenia has maintained his 12 second lead over US cyclist Christian Vandevelde of Team CSC. …
