PARIS (Reuters) - American rider Floyd Landis was banned for two years
on Thursday after being found guilty of doping by a U.S. arbitration
panel and will be stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title.

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said Landis, who will
become the first Tour de France winner to be stripped of the race
victory, had committed a doping violation in the sport's blue-riband
event last year.

"As a result of his doping violation, Landis received a two-year
suspension and forfeits his first-place finish in the 2006 Tour de
France and all related prize money," USADA said in a statement.

Pat McQuaid, president of the International Cycling Union (UCI), told
Reuters by telephone that Oscar Pereiro, who finished second to Landis
in 2006, would be the winner of the race.
