Landis verdict
From what I had read, I thought the verdict would be in in June. I'm
sure the panel is under pressure to announce before the start of this year's(!) Tour, so I'm wondering whether the delay is due to their leaning towards acquittal. -ilan |

Landis verdict
I saw him tonight at a book signing.
He seemed quite confident, and not lambasting the labs or WADA, or the process. I can not see him being nailed. |

A Mennonite kid trains in sweat pants at night to be a bike racer, unbeknownst to his folks. Wins races, works his way to the top. Scandal - unjustified/justified (depending on the producer) penalties. Lawsuits. He now owns the rights to the most famous bike race in the world. Hilarity and joyful racing ensues. If Matt Damon is doing the Lance movie, I'd have to go with Ben Afleck (aka Box Office Death) as the lead and hope it does well on DVD and cable. R |

Unfortunately, I don't know that the TdF ever officially considered Landis the winner, and thus the civil suit might involve proving that he won rather than keeping him from losing the title. If that's the case, it might be a much tougher battle. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Landis standing on the podium in paris, wearing yellow, holding a trophy doesnt' count as being considered the winner? |

That almost makes me hope they DO take it away in the hopes that McQuaid or Pound have to take the stand in the civil suit. |
