Taken from the official statement from the team website:
The Phonak Cycling Team was notified yesterday by the UCI of an unusual level of Testosteron/Epitestosteron ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France.
Now this is completely hypothetical, but it could be that what they found were traces of a masking device. Asuming the drug involved is testosteron, an overdose of epitestosteron could mask the use of the former, but could also result in an unusual ratio.
