Ruling to be Handed Down in Landis Case
2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis will find out today, along with the rest of the world if he will be banned from racing on French soil for as much as the next two years by the French Anti-Doping Agency.
Landis tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone following his storybook Tour victory last year. After a second sample was tested and confirmed that of the first, Landis was informed that he would be involved in a disciplinary hearing.
Landis maintains that he did nothing wrong and that the Chatenay-Malabry laboratory which tested the sample is inncorrect. Chateny-Malabry does have somewhat of a shakey history, Spanish cyclist Inigo Landuluce was recently acquitted of doping charges when the lab was found to have violated testing standards. Representatives from the lab have suggested the errors were caused by a “very heavy workload”.
Landis is not expected to be present at the ruling, but instead to be represented by his lawyer. The possible two year ban would keep Floyd out of the next two Tours as well as any other pertinent pro races on French soil.
Landis will also face a ruling from the US Anti-doping Agency following a hearing to come sometime in April.
