Justice for Landis?

[schneiderrd]

Maybe this clown will get what he deserves:

United States v. Defendant(s) Floyd Landis (S)
Case Number 2010R02820 and Court Docket Number 12-CR-03481

[earlfoss]

I don't understand what the case this document is referring to is about.

His whistleblower suit is law-worthy and if it goes through he should collect. He whistleblew himself out of a longer career to expose what happened.

This is the restitution he has to make to the sublime idiots who paid into the Floyd Fairness Fund.

[MattTuck]

That PDF doesn't have much info... so I can't be sure either.


My guess is that it is related to collecting money from people in the name of clearing his name of doping charges?

Landis entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Govt in San Diego. Christian is correct that this probably is the standard victim notification for the restitution.

Double points. Combine this thread with the thread about irksome expressions: "Non-Story", "Old News", "That is so last year".

Iirc, Landis became a whistleblower only after he couldn't find a job, which included his attempts to blackmail Lance for a spot on his team.

Exactly.

Without dope, Landis had no career.

This is about as newsworthy as a some kid getting bit by a common ant.

That was just Armstrong's smear job against Landis after it came to light that Landis had talked to USADA. When Radio Shack released the emails from Landis and Dr. Kay, they did not support Armstrong's allegations. In fact, Landis had been talking about a whistleblower suit since the end of 2009. Much of his communication with Armstrong, Andrew Messick, and such was a fishing expedition to see what they would say. Much of the communication that purported to be from Landis was not even written by him.

[Black Dog]

Exactly.

Fixed it for you. ;)

People don't "talk about whistle blowing". They either do it or they don't. The whistle blowing status starts the day of the whistle blowing. Period.

I read the emails. People don't "fish" by blackmailing. Blackmailing is illegal.

Unless someone hacked his computer, it doesnt matter if the emails were sent by Landis or with his knowledge and acquiescence by an agent.

Nice try.

No Landis was a confirmed genetic freak just like the Boss. But clearly you couldn't go up against the Boss. Or so the Boss thought. You can boil LA's downfall to two things: He came back and he pissed off the wrong Mennonite. Or is he Amish? Anyway, no Landis and Lance is still wearing seven and handing out stage jerseys and making LeMond look like an idiot.

[J.Greene]

One of the few fully honest statements I've heard by anyone involved in this whole mess was when LA mentioned to Oprah that none of this would have happened if he'd just taken care of Landis. Still, Landis is no victim.

I've been saying this along. It's not the comeback that did Lance in. It's simply the fact that he didn't take care of Floyd. If he hooked Floyd up with a ride after Floyd's suspension, Lance would still be the greatest road cyclist evah!

Not if you believe JB. Landis was the pin that detonated a groundswell from others that had been run rough shot by the Boss for years. People say LA had to give him a ride w his teams. Nope he just needed to make a call and get him a ride somewhere. Instead he blackballed him and belittled him.

Good. Then you can quote the passages where Landis made a specific threat that he would rat Armstrong out if he was not given a job.

[fiamme red]

I thought this thread would be about Kenesaw Mountain Landis. :)

Landis is a class act. Don't forget the threat he made to LeMond.

He absolutely exhausted all avenues for getting back in and then... and only then blew the whistle.

The guy doped to win and then used dope for another hopeful pay off.

I would absolutely piss on Floyd if he were on fire... But not right away.
