AN AMERICAN MAN:

Landis says his testosterone is naturally high (AP, 7/28/06)

His voice steady and his tone defiant, Floyd Landis told the world he would clear his name of allegations he cheated to win the Tour de France and prove he deserved the victory in cycling's signature event.

In his first public appearance since a positive test for high testosterone cast his title into doubt, the American cyclist said his body's natural metabolism - not doping of any kind - caused the result, and that he would soon have the test results to prove it.

"We will explain to the world why this is not a doping case but a natural occurrence," Landis said during a surprise press conference in the Spanish capital.

Dang right his voice is steady and deep--not squeaky like those Euros...
