Landis Takes His Case to the Web

Cyclist Floyd Landis, whose Tour de France victory may be jeopardized because his tested positively for high levels of testosterone, is taking his case to the Internet. On his Web site, FloydLandis.com, Landis has a link to several documents that he says provide scientific evidence to support his case. Among his arguments: mislabeled samples and sloppy recordkeeping by the clinic that conducted the tests.

Of course, none of these documents really explain why his testosterone levels were so high, only that there were too many problems with the testing process. In any case, with so many questions surrounding the legitimacy of the test results, Landis’s case could well be tossed out – and probably should. If this were a court case, you can bet the charges would be dismissed in a heartbeat.
