Final Landis decision

The story appears to be done. It’s a sad ending, but I don’t think any potential outcome would have been exactly “happy.” Now the only question is will he ever return to road racing, or will he even be allowed?

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland announced today its decision regarding ex-Tour de France winner Floyd Landis vs. US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA.) The court ruled against Landis, ending his fight to clear his name and regain his Tour victory. Landis will have to serve the full suspension that is back-dated to 30 January, 2007. Additionally, Landis was ordered to pay $100,000 in costs to the USADA.
