Perrier Just Doesn't Cut It

Let me get this straight: Floyd Landis, the winner of this year's Tour de France, easily one of, if not the most grueling competition in the sports universe, had too much testosterone in his system on a crucial day of the race. Well, hell yeah. As a famous rider said back in the 60's, according to this article in the Telegraph, you don't win the TDF with mineral water.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating doping but jesus, let's not go crazy here. There are several natural reasons for said test result and a second one is due in a few days. Given the issues surrounding that particular test, why was the preliminary result released? Could it be the French are pissed that again an American has claimed the title? Methinks there's something else going on here.
