Tour de France winner Floyd Landis's Phonak cycling team is to be disbanded in the wake of his positive doping test for testosterone, a team spokesman said today.
The spokesman said the team had tried to find other sponsors without success and would now be seeking alternative rides for Landis's team mates. Phonak had already said before this year's Tour that it planned to withdraw from the sport.
Landis was sacked by the Swiss-based team after the second B sample tested positive for the hormone earlier this month.
