Leukemans gets two-year ban

This just in from VeloNews:

Belgian cyclist Bjorn Leukemans was handed a two-year ban by the Flemish anti-doping authorities Thursday following his positive test for testosterone.

Leukemans tested positive for the banned performance enhancer at an out-of-competition test on September 26, four days prior to the world championship road race in Stuttgart, where he finished 13th.


That's big news. I mean, you NEVER hear of cyclists using performance-enhancing drugs let alone failing drug tests. What the hell is this sport coming to?
