A French judge has issued an international arrest warrant against the American road cyclist Floyd Landis for suspected hacking into an anti-doping laboratory computer.

The head of the French anti-doping agency Pierre Bordry says the arrest warrant for Landis was issued on the 28th of January after the agency's laboratory computer system was hacked.

Landis tested positive for the banned drug testosterone during the 2006 Tour de France.
