Does this mean Thor won?

And will he still be invited to the White House?

Tour de France champion Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race, his Phonak team said Thursday.

Phonak said Landis would ask for analysis of his backup "B" sample "to prove either that this result is coming from a natural process or that  this resulting from a mistake."    

Landis has been suspended pending the results. If the second sample confirms the initial finding, he will be fired from the team, Phonak said.

Being invited to the White House these days is like being invited to Hitler's mountain retreat. Nice gesture but the company sucks.

I read that they always test the stage winner and the holder of the yellow jersey, so Thor must be clean (at least on the last stage). There's no telling whether Pereiro or Kloeden are clean, since neither won the stage nor was wearing the maillot jaune at the last or even penultimate stage. Should the worst happen and Landis be made to give up his Tour de France title, I don't think they should say Pereiro is the winner if they haven't tested him, too.
