Now, the only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's is with a combination of clinical symptoms and autopsy. It's only after the patient's death that doctors can confirm the existence of the protein plaques that are the hallmark of Alzheimer...

That will be known when the French national antidoping laboratory in Chatenay-Malabry examines a second, B sample, to confirm its initial findings. If the B sample matches the A sample, Landis could lose his Tour title. Landis has promised to fight any adverse findings and would likely appeal them to the Court of Arbitration for Sport...
