Tour winner Landis vows to clear name, saying testosterone levels were natural

TOUR DE FRANCE winner Floyd Landis has vowed to clear his name after testing positive for unusual levels of testosterone during the event.

The American’s team, Phonak, revealed on Thursday that Landis had failed a test after stage 17 of the event, but he insists the result was “absolutely natural”.

“We will explain to the world why this is not a doping case but a natural occurrence,” Landis told a news conference in Madrid.
