Our spies, who are everywhere, inform us there is a quiet meeting going on somewhere in Switzerland of many, many CAS arbitrators, perhaps discussing selection of their next leader. There's no word on the TAS/CAS website.
Or, it may be a gathering of the Illuminati.
Nothing to see, move along.

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.
"As always, Trust but Verify has the best coverage, if you want to delve into it." (Doucheblog)
"Floyd Landis: Blog on Landis Doping Allegations" (LA Times [better than nothing])
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. (Loren Mooney, co-author of Positively False, at Bicycling)"thank you for you balanced look at what is happening with floyd." (Michael Farrington. Green Mountain Cyclery, Ephata, PA.)
"This genuine Floyd basher would like to thank you for the hard work you put into this great resource." (Spinopsys Phil)

"if you want the latest news on the Floyd Landis case, Trust but Verify is the go-to site. The author is biased in favor of Floyd (so am I) but the reporting is neutral and comprehensive." (12string musings)"Great blog. You're tagged. " (BikingBis. Great, more work)
[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.

It would be nice if it was a gathering of the Illuminati -- they being advocates of the Enlightment, reason and all that good stuff.
how about the title of "President, Prophet, and Seer"? You know, if you can stick your head into a hat and read some gold plates that only you can see, then you are a Seer.
President, Prophet, and Seer
CAS is trying to lure Officer Barbrady away from South Park?
Nothing to see here. Move along now.
Hopefully they don’t get Cartman in a package deal. If Cartman gets deputized, he will teach someone to respect his authoritI.
Then again, that would be more appropriate for WADA.
Holy moly, I still have Ogre and Car Wars in a box!
Follow the story links... ;)
Anyone up for an email game of Ogre or GEV?
The TAS/CAS Website has a very short blurb about electing its new President:
PRESS RELEASE
International Council of Arbitrationfor Sport (ICAS) Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)

Lausanne, 6 February 2007 – During its meeting of 5 February 2008, the International Council of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS) fixed the date for the election of the ICAS/CAS President on 3 April 2008. The election will take place in Monaco. The list of candidates for the presidency will be known approximately four weeks prior to the election date. The next President of ICAS/CAS will have to be chosen from the 19 current ICAS members.
In his capacity of First ICAS Vice President, Mr Mino Auletta (Italy) has been acting as ICAS/CAS President ad interim since the death of Judge Kéba Mbaye on 11 January 2007 who had presided over the CAS since its creation in 1984.
