Cycling: Floyd Landis is to make an online presentation as part of his bid to avoid being stripped of this year's Tour de France title.

The American, 30, tested positive for abnormal amounts of testosterone following his victory and could be the first Tour winner to lose the title for drug offences.

Landis will present his case against doping charges on his personal website, www.floydlandis.com, this week.

He plans to request an open arbitration hearing after having his motion for the case to be dismissed rejected.
