Do they actually declare someone else the winner of the tour? Or does he just get an asterisk in the record book?

If the B test returns a non-negative result. Then he would have his Tour de France title taken away. Last year in the Tour of Spain Roberto Heras won, but was positive for EPO and so the race win was awarded to 2nd place Menchov.
If the B test is positive I would expect many months of lawsuits and dealings before anything official. If the B test is negative then it will be officially over and he is the winner, but the damage done to his career is probably still huge.

Floyd Landis's excursion de France victory is under scrutiny and the sport of biking is as quickly as returned under the microscope after information that the yank motorcycle proprietor examined constructive for top testosterone ranges. Phonak, Landis's racing team, introduced Thursday that the rider's urine pattern confirmed "an unusual point of testosterone/epitestosterone" while he grow to be examined after his identify-saving overall performance in point 17 of the race a week in the past. Phonak has suspended Landis pending results of the backup B pattern of his drug try. it is not regular while the effect of Landis's backup pattern would be examined, yet Phonak stated it would hearth him if the outcomes are constructive.

Yes. It should be noted that five Astaná riders implicated in the Operación Puerto investigation and banned from the Tour de France prior to the 2006 race have been cleared by Spanish courts. I hope that Floyd didn't knowingly take any banned substance. His initial positive test does not prove he did, though.

I doubt that he was doping, i think that is just the french being mad that we (america) has controlled the tour for 8 years now. they are just making this up to try and take it away from us. They are afraid that one of the only things that they are good at is gonna be takin away from them by us.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they will but I think the French, who hate us with a passion, are conspiring against Landis. They'll do anything to discredit him or any American.

yes they will I think take his tour victory away from him. That would be the fair thing to do if he really cheated.
