Landis wounded himself with his feeble and constantly changing excuses when this all unfolded.

I agree 100%, but I just think that if this is proven that it is just desserts for the lab breaking confidentiality and fingering Landis when his A sample came back and for the totally incompetent way they have attempted to smear Armstrong for years.

I'm not convinced he cheated. Apparently the one day he had the big break-through, he did some things very differently from the rest of the field.

Being in the lead position - and way out, he had unlimited access to water bottles. Where most other people used 15 bottles that day (it was very hot), he used 70. Many of these he poured all over himself. Somewhere I read that where the rest of the field was in the high nineties, he was functionally around seventy degrees.

That actually does make a huge difference. As a triathlon, I intend to use this strategy on my longer races on warmer days.
