Landis fires back at cycling hierachy

[Vision]

That's the first thing he has done that has made me think he might be innocent.

Thanks for the ping. I just wish I could wake up from this nightmare. Unfortunately, it will be months before we know anything substantive. *sigh*

As I posted on the other thread where Yobid had provided Floyd's counterattack today: AMEN & ALLELUIA! Finally, Floyd starts acting like he has some of that extra testosterone & begins to fight back. He said " (UCI head) Pat McQuaid said he had to release mine before the lab leaked it." This is accurate. And I have been waiting a week now for the same journalists who've been so busy boning up on the esoteric intricacies of esters & isotopes to ask this one simple question: If even Patrick McQuaid is so worried about the questionable ethics of the lab he is trusting to make these life & death determinatiuons for his athlete's careers that he felt he had to violate the UCI's own codified rules & PREEMPT THE LAB'S LEAK, for God's sake,why is he even USING them? If this lab has repeatedly demonstrated "in a most immodest way" that it has a suspicious agenda outside of its narrowly proscribed scientific purview, how can anyone trust the 'results' they proffer? And what does this say about the "governing body" which continues to retain these hacks? HMMM? Sports journalists out there? Can you get this question answered for us?(Good going Team Landis!Better late than never! You need to keep hitting this one home.)
