A French judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of American cyclist Floyd Landis for "suspected hacking into an anti-doping laboratory computer," according to a Reuters report.

Pierre Bordry, the head of the French anti-doping agency, told Reuters the news on Monday.

Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive for excessive testosterone levels. The international arrest warrant alleges he hacked into the anti-doping agency's laboratory computer system prior to that test.

Landis, 34, is just coming off his two-year ban, which was placed on him after he was stripped of the Tour de France title. He raced this past weekend in Arizona, and according to bikeworldnews.com, finished 22nd in the time trial and 49th in the road race at the Valley of the Sun Stage Race.
