Floyd Landis
Floyd Landis is a former American professional cyclist, born in 1975, who gained notoriety for his dramatic and controversial victory in the 2006 Tour de France. Initially seen as a symbol of hope for a clean sport, his triumph turned into a scandal when he tested positive for high testosterone levels shortly after his celebrated win. This led to the loss of his title and a two-year ban from cycling. Landis later admitted to doping throughout his career, including using EPO and blood transfusions, and implicated several other cyclists in his confessions. Today, he advocates for CBD as a means of coping with his past and ongoing physical issues stemming from his cycling career.
Born on Oct 14, 1975 (50 years old)
