Landis Outlines Doping Defence

October 12, 2006 – Floyd Landis has released a detailed online presentation which he claims proves his innocence after he tested positive for testosterone during his yellow jersey campaign at the 2006 Tour de France, according to an AFP report.

Landis tested positive after Stage 17 but has always claimed his innocence and is hoping that the several hundreds of pages of evidence on his web site will help vindicate him.

Although no official sanction has been given yet, Landis could become the first winner of the world’s most famous cycling race to lose the yellow jersey for a doping offence.

AFP reported that earlier today, Landis posted on his website www.floydlandis.com, a presentation prepared by Arnie Baker, a retired doctor and longtime coach and adviser, along with several hundred pages of documents related to the charges.

Landis is scheduled to present his defence to an arbitration panel in a few months time and hopes that the inconsistencies in the testing procedures that he alleges took place, will clear his name.

“The whole process has been full of errors,” Baker says at one point in the presentation.
