Geez...tons of theories are heading out there now. I can't wait for this to be over and them to find out it was just a mistake...hopefully

I was just about to post the article too...

Man, I wish that this was just a bad nightmare. After Lance, we needed someone to keep the Tour alive. Landis has just kept it alive in a bad way...

With the way things are going, maybe he'll even fill Lance shoes, maybe.

Man just needs to come out and admit he cheated already...

Landis To Ask For Doping Case To Be Dropped

Floyd Landis' lawyer wants U.S. doping authorities to drop their case against the Tour de France winner, contending there were "inconsistencies" in the way the drug tests were handled.

Attorney Howard Jacobs said he plans to submit a formal request Monday to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that it dismiss evidence showing the cyclist tested positive for testosterone after capturing the sport's showcase race in July.

Landis has insisted he is innocent, and Jacobs said the positive tests point to a "premature public conviction."

"In our review of the documents detailing the tests on both the 'A' and 'B' sample, we have found evidence that supports our request for USADA to drop the doping charges against Landis," Jacobs said in a statement posted on Landis' Web site Friday. "While I cannot comment on the full details of our findings, we now have the foundation for a very strong defense should the case proceed to arbitration."

Jacobs said he and a team of scientists found "inconsistencies in the testing protocol and methodology" during a review of 370 pages of documents he received Aug. 31 from the French national anti-doping laboratory near Paris.

Isn't this the same shit they came up with when this issue first exploded? It seems to me like they've got NO fucking defence.

He wants his dropped because Marion Jones was cleared... thats all he is trying to do with this.
