I want to use a custom layout for articles based on their categories' custom layouts.

* sports category layout - sports article layout
* science category layout - science category layout

Thank you for any reply.

UPDATE:   

I have an idea on how to deal with this, as the answers below kind of give me some hint. I need to be able to get the category layout on the article item page. I know this is tricky but Joomla has all the stuff to do it, so what's the best thing to do now?
