Skoda Goes Off-Road

Here's a familiar sight you won't be seeing at the 2007 Tour de France -- and no, we aren't talking about Floyd Landis!

Czech car manufacturer Skoda has withdrawn from sponsoring the Tour de France.

Guess why?

As a result of the current doping scandal involving winner Bad Boy Floyd.

As you might remember, Skoda succeeded the Italian company Fiat as vehicle sponsor in 2004.
A Skoda spokesman said: "The recent scandal involving Floyd Landis [is] not good for our image."

Hey, it's not good for Floyd's image, either!
