Well we'll wait and see, Armstrong is not shy about taking action, he's done it before but I kind of think he doesn't need to, Landis has no credibility now. It's not that I don't believe him but this is going to carry no weight at any level that matters except amongst racing fans.
I'm not so sure - the e-mails are pretty cohehent and specific.
Landis (like Virenque/Hamilton et al always initially challenge the ban), but that doesn't make him mentally deluded - they all do it.
He's also implicated others, such as Hincapie - surely he would consider legal action if this was all made up?
Everyone knows Landis lied and tried every trick in the book to get off, but that doesn't make him wrong on this.
Hamilton was the same and a doping manual for him came out of Operation Puerto, implying industrial strength doping and then he was tested positive again on his comeback.
Floyd's made very, very specific allegations against people.
It will be interesting to see the response - saying Flandis is mad is not enough- the individual, detailed doping allegations need to be disproved.
The onus is on Lance / Hincapie / Leipheimer etc I feel. If someone at my work said I was systematically doing something illegal and wrong, it wouldn't be enough for me to try to rubbish the accuser.
My employer would expect me to prove my innocence.
