AMERICAN cyclist Floyd Landis has withdrawn from Tour of Southland cycle race in New Zealand, shunning the spotlight after his testimony in the United States Anti-Doping Agency's investigation of Lance Armstrong.
The 37-year-old Landis, who won the 2006 Tour de France but was disqualified after failing a drugs test, told organizers he will not compete in the October 28 to November 3 road race. Auckland lawyer Richard McIlraith, who helped sign Landis for the race, said the American rider was "disappointed and saddened" to have withdrawn.
