Yellow Floyd
Without much US fan-fare, Floyd Landis won the first post-Lance Armstrong Tour de France today. Check out this nicely written article on ESPN.
Floyd is an American rider, so that has to have the French (and the rest of Europe) hopping mad. They are finally rid of Lance and another Yank wins it. Of course, Floyd did win without some of the stronger riders not riding due to a drug/doping scandal. However, who’s to say they were strong and clean. Anyway, congratulations are in order and I’m sure the victory was even sweeter since he was riding with an arthritic hip that he’ll now have surgery on.

I think they are comparing his testosterone sample to the levels of one of those Frenchies, so of course it looks to high.
That said, we’ll see what the “B” sample yields and if he can even prove he’s so much more man than the rest of us.
