Floyd Landis' stunning Tour de France victory was thrown into question Thursday when his team said he tested positive for high testosterone levels during Stage 17, when the 30-year-old American champion began his stunning comeback with a gritty charge into the Alps.Let's hope the follow-up testing tells a different story. Fortunately his mother is still behind him:
After speaking with Floyd Landis by telephone, Arlene Landis said she is convinced her 30-year-old son did nothing wrong and blasted cycling's governing body for "spoiling everything."
"My opinion is when he comes on top of this, everyone will think so much more of him. So that's what valleys are for, right?" she said outside her home in a section of rural Lancaster County called Farmersville.
There were reportedly more than a few conservative Mennonites who didn't think too much of Floyd's sudden fame and fortune. If he is found true of doping, this would certainly confirm their suspicions about the evils of the outside world.
