RTÉ.ie Sport - Landis sacked after positive 'B' test

File picture taken 22 July 2006 of USA's Floyd Landis (Phonak/Swi) arriving in Le Creusot before the start of the 19th stage of the 93rd Tour de France cycling race, a 57 km individual time-trial from Le Creusot to Monceau-les-Mines. Landis is set to become the first victor of the race to be stripped of his title after his B sample confirmed he had abnormal levels of testosterone, the sport's governing body the UCI announced 05 August 2006. The 30-year-old American - who was also sacked by his Phonak team following the announcement - had failed a drugs test after the 17th stage of the Tour de France which he had won to get his way back into the race just a day after he had faded out of contention.
