You might not think that “white-out” would be one of the materials used by technicians at a world class doping investigation lab.
But cyclist Floyd Landis' defense team claims that lab officials in France wrote down urine sample numbers on testing forms that did not match Landis' Tour de France bike race sample number. The mistake was covered over with white-correction fluid, USA Today reports, and Landis' number was written in. …
Cyclist Floyd Landis expressed his sympathy to the Amish community near his hometown in Pennsylvania that was the site of Monday's schoolhouse shooting that left five girls dead.
He also pledged in a blog post at FloydLandis to donate funds to those affected by the shooting and urged anyone who would like to help to visit the Coatesville Savings Bank website for the Nickel Mines Children's Fund and the Roberts Family Fund.
Landis is recovering from hip surgery he underwent last week. He's also working on his defense against doping charges that could result in a 2-year ban from professional cycling and the loss of his 2006 Tour de France. …
Cyclist Floyd Landis received word this week from the US Anti-Doping Agency that he's been formally charged with using performance-enhancing drugs during the Tour de France bicycle race.
The next step, a hearing before a three-person arbitration panel, could occur by January. The 30-year-old American cyclist has said he wants that hearing to be open to the public.
If Landis fails to convince the arbiters that the tests carried out by the French lab were flawed, the whole thing will end up in the lap of the Court of Arbitration of Sport. That's the last stop before Landis would be suspended from professional cycling for two years and lose his Tour de France title. He's already …
Floyd Landis will launch his defense against doping charges next week when his attorney submits materials to a US Anti-Doping Agency review board that there's insufficient evidence to proceed against this year's Tour de France winner.
In a press release posted at FloydLandis.com, attorney Howard Jacobs says he and a team of scientific experts found “inconsistencies in the testing protocol and methodology” after reviewing 370 pages of documents provided by the French lab. …
OLN bicycling commentator Phil Liggett was interviewed about the Floyd Landis affair last weekend by Carlton Reid of UK-based BikeBiz, a bicycle industry newsletter. Reid posted the interview online at YouTube.com in his Cycling News & View series.
“I'm still very skeptical about the whole thing,” Liggett says. “The Laboratory (Châtenay-Malabry) is unscrupulous to say the least, because they shouldn't know the sample they're testing.” …
“And the more you get out there and talk about it, I have to talk about it. The best is just to let the process play out and get out of the media. … I would have encouraged him just to lay low. …
Floyd Landis appeared on Jay Leno's Tonight Show to offer still another possible reason why he tested positive for a high testosterone level in the Tour de France.
“I don't know if it's somehow or some way I ingested something that caused the tests to be that way,'' Landis told Leno. …
If you still want to believe in Floyd Landis, then you'll want to read his interview in USA Today.
Landis, who's holed up at his home in Murrieta, California, blamed the leaks from Union Cycliste Internationale for his having to scramble to try and come up with an explanation for the out-of-whack testosterone-epitestosterone ratio. …
It's a black day in cycling. As most everyone expected, even Floyd Landis, the much-anticipated “B” sample came back positive.
The 30-year-old Tour de France winner was immediately fired by the Phonak team. He'll probably lose his Tour de France championship as well, depending on the action of the US Anti-Doping Agency. …
While we all sit around waiting for the French lab to test “B” sample from the Tour de France, here's what's happening on the Floyd Landis front.
Nothing. But that doesn't stop the flow of information. Here's a news item, a blog about organic chemistry, the reliability of lab tests, Bob Roll asking questions and a video from the Steven Colbert Report:
Landis has hired Howard Jacobs of Los Angeles as his attorney. Jacobs specializes in athlete-doping cases and was Tyler Hamilton's attorney. …
