Floyd Landis is one of the most controversial cyclists in recent history, for much the same reason as there is any controversy in any bicycle race--illegal use of performance enhancing drugs.

The reason why this case is so substantial is because he was indited for doping after he had won the 2006 Tour de France, the most prestigious cycling race in the world. He was stripped of his title and 2nd place cyclist Oscar Pereiro became the new 2006 Tour de France winner.
