Cyclist Floyd Landis has lost his last appeal and chance to regain and keep the 2007 Tour de France title that he won then forfeited after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

A three-person panel at the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a previous panel’s decision, ruling his positive doping test during the Tour two years ago was, indeed, valid. Landis also must pay $100,000 toward the legal fees of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

In its 58-page decision, the CAS panel said the lab that analyzed Landis’ positive test results used some “less than ideal laboratory practices, but not lies, fraud, forgery or cover-ups,” the way the Landis camp had alleged.

Cycling is one of the dirtiest sports in the world.  Shame on Floyd for cheating, but he just didn’t get away with it like most of the other riders do.
