Cyclist Floyd Landis To Appeal Ruling To Keep 2006 TDF Title

Floyd Landis has another chance to appeal and regain his 2006 Tour de France title. If we can still remember, he made a spectacular comeback to win at '06's stage 17 TDF road race. Unfortunatly, he was ruled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport - the top court for sports for testing positive for using banned performace enhancing drugs.

If Landis loses the appeal, he will be the first cyclist in the 105-year race history to be stipped of the title because of a doping offense.

The Yellow jersey is scheduled by the International Cycling Union to be awarded to second-place finisher Oscar Pereiro on Monday in Madrid.
