LANDIS QUESTIONS TEST: Tour de France champion Floyd Landis renewed his attack Tuesday on the credibility of the French lab that conducted follow-up tests on his backup urine samples and reportedly found traces of synthetic testosterone.
"If it's going to be objective, the least you could do is send it to a lab that doesn't have motivation to confirm their work in the first place," Landis said on CBS' "Early Show."
On Monday, the French newspaper L'Equipe reported Landis' "B" samples had traces of synthetic testosterone. Landis refused to confirm the results and said the leaking of results to L'Equipe was yet another result of unethical maneuvers engineered by those who want him stripped of the Tour title.

The increase reflects the recent change to pay women the same as men from the first round to the final for the first time since Wimbledon began offering prize money in 1968.
