From this evening’s SMH web­site comes this abstract/second-level head­line “Floyd Lan­dis likely to lose Tour de France title and has been sacked from his team, after test­ing pos­i­tive for testosterone.”

Yes, he is male, yes, it was a male con­test. This is why arbitar­ily drop­ping adjec­tives to achieve headline-friendly ‘sen­tences’ is a bad idea. It orig­i­nally read “exces­sive testos­terone”, but now appears that all the other cyclists were, erm, some­what lacking.
