Doping at the Tour
The Tour de France has been repeatedly rocked by drug scandals over the past decade. In 2007, cyclist and then-tour leader Alexander Vinokourov was removed from the race after he tested positive for EPO. In 2006, the winner of the tour, American Floyd Landis, was stripped of his title after he tested positive for synthetic testosterone.ESPN: Duenas Nevado Pulls Out of Tour, Detained by Police (July 16, 2008)
