Rider Floyd Landis claims the doping test was flawed and the officials had an agenda
American rider Floyd Landis claims his doping test was "fatally flawed" and that the officials behind it have an agenda.
Floyd Landis, 30, tested positive for high levels of testosterone after winning stage 17 of this year's Tour de France and is set to lose his title.
Floyd Landis says the leak of his test broke rules and he questioned the anonymity of the procedure.
"There's extraneous circumstances that indicate there's some strange things going on with this test," Floyd Landis explained and he was critical of officials from the International Cycling Union (UCI) and World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) for announcing the results of his test without analysing his B sample.
Floyd Landis also claimed the test was not conducted anonymously and said he had evidence to prove laboratory staff had access to the names of the samples that were tested.
"You'll see that they clearly broke the rules and their excuse was pathetic. The only explanation I can come up with is that there is some agenda here," Floyd Landis said.
