Any documents that USADA, WADA and LNDD have regarding Floyd's tests at the Tour should be handed over to his defense team. It's the fair and "sporting" thing to do. Witholding evidence that might exonerate him is, in my mind, just a form of cheating in order to win. Ironic, no?<br /><br />And TBV, if those "Rooster" jerseys get made, sign me up for one, too. I'd be happy to wear it with pride in the local races. (Perhaps it could be a parody of the French clothing line "Le Coq Sportif"?)<br /><br />- Rantdaniel m (a/k/a Rant)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16126545986721397012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-45838134371516016532006-11-11T23:09:00.000-08:002006-11-11T23:09:00.000-08:00Okay, TBV, my head is spinning....but doesn't it m...Okay, TBV, my head is spinning....but doesn't it make sense that any documents regarding Floyd, should be shown or given to Floyd? Or, am I thinking American jursiprudice, here?<br />That seems "Fair". But, the USADA looks like they don't know if they want to be fair, or put all kinds of things in the way, to bring down an US athlete in a slimmy way. That doesn't say much for the USADA...or my faith in them.<br /><br />And the "Rooster jerseys" if available, will probably only be in Men's size and cut, and we females will have to deal with the narrow cut at the hips! More discrimination!!<br /><br />Oh, I just realized the USADA is acting like the CIA and FBI, making and interperting their rules the way they want too!! Too hell with the rest of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-13599292218492239852006-11-10T19:37:00.000-08:002006-11-10T19:37:00.000-08:00I don't sense a change after the 12th document rel...I don't sense a change after the 12th document release -- the letter from them on the 13th wasn't bad.<br /><br />It appears to me more of a cumulative thing, where their position hardened. Why is not clear -- is it because Landis was pushing their buttons, or because they realized the situation they were in and needed to hunker down.<br /><br />I'm sure there will be more process :-), but I'm hoping to do some more riding and less typing this weekend.<br /><br />The next procedural step is selecting the 3rd arbitrator, the "neutral". This apparently hasn't happened yet.<br /><br />Once selected, the fun really begins.<br /><br />TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-76740300685812599972006-11-10T18:05:00.000-08:002006-11-10T18:05:00.000-08:00TBV:

Do you agree?<br /><br />If so, are they trying to "punish" him for making this process public?<br /><br />If it's about winning, punishing him for making their case harder is consistent. If its about the truth, thy should welcome the openess of this process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-47502012564898039912006-11-10T18:04:00.000-08:002006-11-10T18:04:00.000-08:00TBV:

How about a "Part 6" (free this weekend :)) with some speculation on what is next? After all, we still need a date for a hearing, and the definition of "public" needs to be resolved. The USADA documents Landis does not have need to be ruled on. And what USADA doesn't want Landis to see can also be specualated on.<br /><br />What's your guess on how the time line looks forward from here and what will happen. (To be clear, I'm not asking what you thinkt he final resolution will be, rather about the process to come).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-4549204065819033682006-11-10T17:22:00.000-08:002006-11-10T17:22:00.000-08:00After reading all five parts, and sort of regretti...After reading all five parts, and sort of regretting it because I feel like I've been spun in circles and then hit in the head, I realized that this is just a really a game of legalistic Calvinball, <a href="http://www.bartel.org/calvinball/">which clearly states the following rules:</a><br /><br />Permanent Rule: You may not play the Calvinball the same way twice.<br /><br />Primary Rule: The following rules are subject to be changed, amended, or deleted by any player(s) involved. These rules are not required, nor necessary to play Calvinball.<br /><br />Which reminds me, who's going to start selling the "Roostered Up" cycling jerseys? I'd wear one, provided, of course, they have a rooster with a test tube on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
