Landis will know fate on Saturday

THE result of Tour de France winner Floyd Landis’ back-up doping test will be announced Saturday.

The analysis of his B sample is expected to take place between tomorrow and Saturday at the Chatenay-Malabry lab outside Paris, International Cycling Union spokesman Enrico Carpani said.

Landis tested positive for an elevated ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone following the 17th stage of the Tour de France in the Alps, where he made a remarkable comeback after a poor performance the day before.
