WADA to Sue Floyd Landis to Recover 1.3 Million

Trust but Verify www.trustbut.blogspot.com has reported that if Floyd Landis loses his appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) then WADA intends to sue him to recover 1.3 million dollars WADA spent in legal expenses to defend the AAA Majority decision.

Well. This should prove very interesting and informative. If WADA does sue Floyd Landis for damages the case will enter a legal realm where some interesting new questions will be asked. WADA for the first time will be outside of the realm of the IOC umbrella. WADA and the CAS are both inventions of the IOC and several players, including Richard Young and Dick Pound served both WADA and the CAS at the same time. This incestuous relationship insures conflictual interests beneficial to prosecution involved in sport doping arbitration. This incestuous relationship offers unheard of protections to prosecutors to withhold evidence critical to the defense. This incestuous relationship allows WADA accredited laboratories the opportunity to destroy evidence without sanction. This incestuous relationship allows WADA accredited labs to perform tests without a semblance of competence. This incestuous relationship allows WADA accredited labs to make mistakes without correction. This incestuous relationship allows "departures" in International Standards, which cause Adverse Analytical Findings. This incestuous relationship allows laboratory personnel to work on both "A" and "B" samples in violation of WADA code. All is lawful as long as USADA in cooperation with WADA and the CAS "win" cases against athletes.

Outside of the protective sphere of the IOC, WADA may find life a little harder. To sue Floyd Landis a jurisdiction would have to be selected outside of the IOC domain. Floyd Landis would for the first time be afforded due process rights and the option of cross-examination of witnesses. Floyd Landis would be able to ask to see evidence in the possession of WADA, USADA, and LNDD that were denied by USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart and AAA Panel Majority members Partice Brunet and Richard McLaren.

Floyd Landis would be able to interrogate Jacques de Ceaurriz laboratory director of WADA accredited Chatenay-Malabry laboratory LNDD about possible LNDD laboratory personnel press leaks to tabloid magazine l'Equipe. Floyd Landis could also find the person or persons responsible for the "white out" and other deletions found on his Lab Document Package. Floyd Landis could also question Jacques De Ceaurriz and others about deleted mass spectra files from the Stage 17 GC/C/IRMS tests. Floyd Landis could force the French government to release the identity of the person or persons who hacked the LNDD laboratory computers. Floyd Landis could interrogate the people who attempted to frame Floyd Landis as the hacker of LNDD's computer and publicly examine their motives. Landis could question the person or persons who attempted to lock out Floyd Landis' representative Paul Scott during the alternate "B" sample testing. Floyd Landis could ask to see all of the COFRAC LNDD WADA accreditation audits. Floyd Landis could ask the person or persons who wrote the AFLD decision what scientific basis the decision was based upon and why his defense submission was ignored by the AFLD arbitration panel. Floyd Landis could expose the so secret volume of scientific evidence Francesco Botre and the AAA arbitrators found so critical to the AAA Panel Majority decision. Barring a bizarre gag order by the court, any point germane to the Floyd Landis case would be fair game for public examination. Can WADA, USADA, and the CAS risk such exposure?

John Fahey please sue Floyd Landis. There are so many unanswered questions about this case. Inquiring minds want to know. But don't be surprised if the real world does not work like the WADA world. WADA stands to lose allot more than money. The reputation of USADA, WADA and the CAS will be sullied. Floyd Landis spent more than a million dollars on his defense to expose your incestuous relationships. Floyd Landis wants the world to know the truth about USADA, WADA, and the CAS. What better place than a court of law?

Why do I have this parallel image, of certain people 'squirming like rats', when I think of:

Sarkozy, awaiting news on whether CHINA is going to stuff his companies back down his throat...

or

WADA, awaiting news on whether CAS is going to stuff Landis (and we know, thanks to Pound, exactly how much Testosterone he uses, and what effect that has on VIRGINS (like WADA's 'legal staff')) down the respective gullets of its ExecComm?

GOOD WORK, UtahDude

Jon,
You rock. How stupid are these guys that they think they can recover their legal costs after stonewalling Landis for the truth?

These guys think they are above the law and, yes, they have created a organization that does not have accountability to anyone but themselves.

If they sue in a US court, they will be exposed as the scoundrels they really are.

RSD, ZEN,
They have yet to prevail in the CAS. The decision should be cut and dry for Landis. Then heads may roll, starting with Pound, Young, and Tygart.

Jon
Is this your work team?

A team of scientists the Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory at the University of Utah have developed a test that makes use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
