Is no one going to comment on FL's conviction by a French court?
I could be missing it, what with the NEW forum and all. :? :?

    What's to say?

    Doubtless he did hire the hackers, perhaps following the advice of Arnie Baker who was also convicted. (It does seem that Landis is perhaps not too bright and / or has a tendency to associate with rather dodgy characters, as with his former manager Will Geoghegan, the unsavoury character who tried to blackmail Greg Lemond into keeping quite with threats of making his childhood abuse public.)

    Landis was let off lightly. The French power company EDF hired the same people as Landis did to spy on Greenpeace, and two of ther directors are now serving jail terms, as are some of those associated with Kargus Consultants, who did the spying.

    Like Nixon isn't it? Got done for the cover up

    In other doping news, Pantani's drug dealer got off on the charge of supplying the dust that nailed the coffin down.
