Interesting development. I guess the French don't want him back in the peloton. I wonder if we will see international arrest warrants in connection with the Astana transfusion equipment case before the Tour? Methinks not, but stranger things have happened.

The dude is screwed. He should have dealt with this when the issue first surfaced. He could blame it on that idiot Arnie Baker.

FLandis' best bet is to come clean so he does not have to live under a cloud the rest of his life. He should describe the doping program at Postal in complete detail. The firestorm over Postal and Armstrong will deflect a lot of blame from himself.

How about that Aussie world pursuiter bloke who's been done for sleeping with under-age girls, or is he too low-profile to count?!

Nah, needs to be bigger, funny, and ideally related to unrepentant dopers.

Back to the good old days of cycling. Drugs, bribes and Armstrong having his ex-drug-buddies kept quiet.

Floyd and his idiot advisors played with fire, now they might get burned. Their righteous indignation didn't give them the right to engage in illegal activities.

His all or nothing strategy is having logical consequences, not that I expected him to want to vacation in France.

With those glasses it's no wonder he couldn't tell a 6 from a 4 (reference to his manipulative power point presentation)

What about Will Geoghegan, did he get off scot free?

Ah, ok, something like Bruyneel trying to buy a new drug from a News of the World fake Sheik... I'll see what I can do.

All those twitter threats about writing books and spilling the beans on the Hog has lead to warrent. The French should be able to get the juice from him. Look forward to the hearing after the FBI hand him over.

Ah, we can hope, we can hope. A LA-free Tour would be heaven.

As it is the French may not have anything on FLandis without Baker, assuming that Baker handled the hacker and the documents. Under questioning FLandis can just say he does not know anything about it.

It is strange that Baker is not the one being sought.

You get the feeling that Floyd wished he never met Armstrong.

So funny that Sir Lance is pocketing 12 mill a year from just turning up to races and Landis is hiding under a friends sofa so the feds don't send him to a French prison!

In all honesty we jest but hacking is a very serious charge. Its 20 years.

Anything on Flandis's Twitter?

Maybe it's a fishing expedition of sorts, hoping to get him to turn on Baker and/or spill more details about USPS. This is going to be an interesting year.

The latest attention grabbing attempt by Inspector Bordry.

FrozenPeePee...ShowerGate....GarbageGate...
The guy is hilarious - but his antics are growing old.

Might actually get some backlash this time.
But at least Floyd will have some new material for "Positively False" second edition

"Positively False is at once a memoir and a powerful indictment of the unchecked governing bodies of cycling that have compromised theintegrity of the sport as a whole.

He's so fvcked

Greg LeMond is having quite a month.

LeMon should make an offer to FLandis to help him out if he comes clean. LeMond could cover the inevitable legal expenses.

Floyd becomes Roman Polanski.
An International warrant, as opposed to a French one.
Anybody, (other than Polish) know how this works?

NBC Sports says the warrant is because he didn't respond to a summons.

Flandis a hacker?

Conspiracy perhaps as he likely knows who did hack, but Floyd??

I'd sure like to see the evidence the French Judge is looking at.

Dr. Arnie Baker hired a hacker to break into LNDD and steal documents. Baker then modified the documents and distributed them in an attempt to discredit the lab.

The French wanted FLandis to answer questions months ago. At that time the possibility of an arrest warrant was threatened. FLandis should have taken the opportunity to deal with the problem last year.
