In accordance to the Anti-doping rules, the Anti-doping Commission of the UCI will request that the USA Cycling Federation open a disciplinary procedure against the rider.

Phonak Cycling Team to clarify consequences
The Phonak Cycling Team has learned today from the International Cycling Union (UCI) that team captain Floyd Landis’s B sample has also resulted in a positive finding of doping. As a result, Landis will be dismissed without notice for violating the team’s internal Code of Ethics. Landis will continue to have legal options to contest the findings. However, this will be his personal affair and the Phonak team will no longer be involved in that. Team owner Andy Rihs deeply regrets this development. At present, he is clarifying with all parties involved what consequences this may have for his company ARcycling AG, the operator of the Phonak Cycling Team. Andy Rihs and Team Manager John Lelangue will make in-depth statements regarding this matter at a media conference to be held in the next couple of days.
In layman's terms, Floyd don't let the door hit you in the ass.

..and this is a shame. We'll see what happens over the next few months and see if what he's done shows up on the list. He told Matt Lauer he didn't dope. I'm not sure about the credit that gives him but I've got to go with my original gut feeling that I think there may be more to this than meets the eye. A conspiracy? Doubtful. But I do think that whatever happened he honestly believes he's done nothing outside the rules as they exist.
