Landis Blood test to be city DUI gauge by 2010 - guilty

"In a final effort to clear his name and regain the 2006 Tour de France title that was stripped from him last month because of a doping violation, Floyd Landis filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland this week.

The appeal, filed Monday, is Landis' last chance to overturn the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's charge that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the tour.

Last month, an arbitration panel upheld that charge and ruled, 2-1, that Landis had used synthetic testosterone to win a grueling mountain stage of the tour. Landis, who turns 32 on Sunday, was subsequently stripped of the tour title and barred from the sport for two years, retroactive to Jan. 30, 2007.

Now the Court of Arbitration for Sport will take one last look at the evidence in the case. Its decision will be final, with no possibility for an appeal."
