LANDIS DECISION POSTPONED BY FRENCH ANTI-DOPING AGENCY

Landis Paris 06

Following Floyd Landis' agreement not to race in France in 2007, the French Anti-Doping Agency [AFLD] announced on Thursday (Feb 8) that they have postponed a decision on whether the American should be suspended for his postiive test for testosterone.

The AFLD will now return to the Landis case after the US Anti-Doping Agency [USADA] reaches its decision in May.

Landis' lawyer, present at the AFLD meeting in Paris on Thursday, requested that the AFLD delay their decision because it was complicating matters for Landis. The AFLD?s verdict, in any case, would only be applicable on French territory.
