French authorities have issued an arrest warrant against US cyclist
Floyd Landis over allegations he hacked into an anti-doping lab
computer.
Landis, 34, was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title win after he
tested positive for abnormal levels of testosterone. Landis appealed,
but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected his assertion that
his positive test was due to procedural mistakes by the laboratory back
in 2008.
The cyclist, who maintains his is innocent of doping offences, is now
accused of hacking into Chatenay-Malabry laboratory computer systems, a
new allegation he strongly denies.
"It appears to be another case of fabricated evidence by a French lab
who is still upset a United States citizen believed he should have the
right to face his accusers and defend himself," Landis told the Los
Angeles Times. He added that he'd received no notice of the charges from
the French authorities.
