Bolstered by scientific testimony from a pair of defense side experts, the Landis team appeared to poke significant holes in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s allegation that he cheated his way to victory on the Champs-Elysees. Landis had been scheduled to take the stand on the seventh day of this nine-day hearing at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, but his turn didn’t come up until late afternoon, and the

He was listed on the USADA side of the ledger, one spot above former pro cyclist Joe Papp. On Monday, USADA lead counsel

Floyd Landis moved a step closer to finding out whether his name will go down in Tour de France history or infamy. Landis’s scheduled 10-day arbitration hearing to determine whether he used synthetic testosterone to win the 2006 Tour commenced in the moot-courtroom of the Pepperdine University Law School in Malibu, California, with science — not cycling — taking center stage. If he wins the case he’ll avoid becoming the first Tour champion in 100 years to be stripped of his title.
