Landis Lets It All Hang Out
Floyd Landis is getting ready to post about 370 pages of documents and other info that will shed light on his defense in the positive testosterone case. Landis is taking an unprecendented move by showing how his lawyers intend to attack the case. The lawyers found that the testing process is full of errors with mismatched labels and sloppy precedures.
Landis spokesman Michael Henson says, at this point, the rider is not contending that the positive sample is not his, only that the lab work was extremely sloppy. — USA Today
The documents will be available this thursday, but in the meantime you can converse with Floyd Landis yourself through the Daily Peloton Forums. Floyd is answering many questions including:
Question: During epic stage 17, was there a thought that played through your head besides, what I would expect to be, obvious ones (put time into rivals, maintain hydration, etc..)?
How about a song or lyric?
Landis: The song was Badlands by “The Boss”.
