Reading Order 2
We briefly touched on Order 2 last night, which allowed the additional B sample tests in. Swimyouidiot, who Landis has dubbed "Mr. Idiot" (now worn with pride) sent us a comment worth calling to greater attention:

One of TBV's sons gives Landis a "thumbs up" at the Tour of California, February 21, 2006 -- before things got complicated.

swimyouidiot -- brilliant!
TBV -- thank you for sharing it.
SYI,
Excellent analysis. Words matter, and which ones you choose matter. They aren't even the slightest bit concerned about hiding their bias, are they.
- Rant
TBV Great work keep it up.
Why doesn't Cambell sit in the middle one day to mix it up? Made it hard for the "two" to pass notes.
What was a daily roundup became an "irregular report" of links with specific Landis interest, with brief comment. We avoided bashing, gushing, or gross stupidity. Unless it was funny.
We're still around for mail, but don't expect much or quick response. Thanks!
Comments are welcome, but may be edited/moderated or deleted for propriety and relevance. The decision of the judges is final. Your milage may vary, taxes and license additional.

Total Poindexter Website Prize: to the fabulous geniuses over at trustbutverify, who not only are perhaps the most impassioned defenders of Floyd Landis' virtue beyond only the boy himself, but actually seem to understand the detailed scientific arguments they put out that the rest of us (well, me) are too stupid to even coherently summarize. Floyd, you better be innocent, or you owe these folks a *major* freakin' apology! (racejunkie)

"Hands-down champion of full-and I mean full-coverage of this hearing is the blog Trust But Verify. You'll have to have excellent background knowledge of the issues, and wade through page after page of detail to get to anything interesting, but it's raw and unfiltered and all there. The guy who runs the site, a cycling fan from Northern California, began casually providing a clearinghouse for Landis case news nearly 10 months ago, and now he has the haunted look of a man whose life has been hijacked and wants it back.

[More...]Thanks to Free Floyd for the idea, and Groklaw for some inspiration.
PK/Strbuk is similarly inclined.Bill Hue is a passionate about fairness and justice, and is relatively indifferent to Landis' guilt or innocence
Marc is an American living in Paris.
If someone who leans towards guilt would like to contribute directly, please inform us.
Sharing a diversity of viewpoints is the best way we know of to arrive at the truth.
I just read the new "Order 2" - and since DPF is apparently still down, I want to note a couple things here.
Words reveal a lot about the way people are thinking. In the very first paragraph it says "On March 17th 2007, the majority of the Panel issued the Interlocutory
Award." Notice it does not say a majority, but the majority. As if Brunet and McLaren now constitute the assumed majority of the panel. Actually, on March 17, 2007, the panel issued the award, as it says in paragraphs 17, 18, 19 and in other places of the original order. Subtle, but important turn of the language there.
Also, look at paragraph 3. "The majority of the Panel further reserved its 'right to affirm...'" and it refers to paragraph 23 of the original order. But paragraph 23 of the original order says "The Panel in making this advance ruling reserves the right to affirm or re-determine the ruling..."
They misrepresented their own language to make it fit what they did in practice.
Sick. Just sick. Couldn't they hide their bias a little better?
