 2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis of the U.S. waves the U.S. flag as he rides down the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris following the final stage of the 93rd Tour de France cycling race between Antony, south of Paris, and Paris, in this July 23, 2006 file photo. Landis' backup "B" sample confirms high levels of testosterone, the International Cycling Union announced Saturday, Aug. 5, 2006, in a result that could see him stripped of his Tour de France title and banned for two years. (AP Photo/Bas Czerwinski)PARIS (AP) - Floyd Landis' doping samples contained synthetic testosterone, indicating the Tour de France champion's elevated levels were not produced naturally, the head of France's anti-doping commission said Saturday.

Pierre Bordry, who heads the French anti-doping council, said the lab found that testosterone in Landis' urine samples came from an outside source.

"I have received a text message from Chatenay-Malabry lab that indicates the 'B' sample of Floyd Landis' urine confirms testosterone was taken in an exogenous way," Bordry told The Associated Press.
