landis sued by uci?

[stainlessguy1]

attempt to scare

This is nothing more but a smoke screen.
The hope is to scare anyone that is going to testify in court in the upcomming fiasco . They are doing this to Floyd because he so conveniently fits under the bus once again .

Mcquack and Vernuggen should of resigned a long time ago , with so much controversy, what on earth are they hanging on for . Any normal corporation would have demanded a resignation a long time ago .

Farm strong made good being the pawn and now its time to say good bye .
The rest of the clan is just trying to save themselves .

The rest of the issue all revolves around the funding for the big pharma giants . AS long as they come out untouched all will be good .
So you can all keep raising money for cancer research and machines, just keep it comming , its a world wide thing . Dont expect much of a cure in any avenue , but a few . They like to release that from time to time , so people wont give up hope .

Thats it , end of story .

The UCI really are trying to take omertà to new levels. They have targeted people who will struggle to defend themselves, to try and stop the tsunami of honesty that is engulfing them. The silence of riders and teams isn't enough anymore, now they are trying to enforce the silence of retired riders and journalists. Where will they stop?

 

[rhubroma]

Landis and Basso, both caught,both on the bike greats.
Post crime techniques dealing w media and the attention very,very different. Basso says lots of things about "me" "I" takes on what he did and doesn't make it a point to lessen the person screw up damage by including others that are/were equally as dumb at a given time in history.

Landis called out the UCI,they called back he never showed. Until Landis can go a day or week or month without talking or thinking about Lance in some way he will stay in the toaster until he is so crisp he will be useless

So Basso is a "good guy," because he didn't break omertà, whereas Landis is evil, because he did.

Now I get it, thanks.

nice touch how both CN articles continue to reiterate Landis' claims.

It also prohibits Landis from calling the UCI "full of ****", "clowns" and "liars",

So this just reinforces what Landis said, the UCI really are "full of ****", "clowns" and "liars".

Well done CN for publishing this twice!!

It we be great if Landis would actually take out advertisements in which he repeats that laundry list of insults, and at the very end, says "I'm sorry I said these things. However ...(add new list of insults here).

The UCI has no idea how much humor they just injected into all of this. I just hope the phrase "clown terrorist" appears in an affidavit in the USADA's file.

he's better off doing what he's already done... which is state he was never notified so could not defend himself. makes the UCI and the Swiss court judgement look even more rediculous

The attorney for Landis says rthis is against the first ammendment and not enforcible in the USA.

However the plaintiffs could sue Landis in a USA court using deformation law.

If I was Landis I would think seriously of not going to any european country.

 

[thehog]

If the UCI were serious they'd skip the lawsuits and invite Kimmidge and Landis to Switzerland for a day so they could learn how the doping really works in professional cycling.

But that would be way to productive and forward thinking.

Who's the Sky guy who sits on the UCI board? Maybe he could assist?

 

[thehog]

Its a unenforceable civil proceeding not criminal law!!

Even if he went to Switzerland what are they going to do? Put him in jail until he takes out said advertisements?

Don't be ridiculous.

Oh and what's "deformation law"?

The only thing Floyd needs to avoid doing is opening a Swiss bank account.

I will contribute to a fund that takes out some/all of said advertisements on behalf of Landis, and as crafted by contributors* to this forum.

I will even offer editing services.

Working Draft:

On behalf of Floyd Landis, and on behalf of (gazillions) of UCI-license holders and members of the cycling community, we would like to state that Floyd has agreed to retract the following:

...

We, the many members of the cycling community are, of course, deeply concerned by the apparent willfull deception of the UCI in matters related to its duty to support a drug-free sport. There are multiple, well-substantiated allegations that the UCI has, in fact, colluded to hide more than one doping positive. The UCI itself has referred to the past decade and a half as the 'dark era' in the sport of cycling that has followed the Festina scandal, yet sufficient evidence exists that the UCI and Verbruggen and McQuaid themselves, actively contributed to creating this dark era...

... This dark era began with the accepted back-dating of a TUE for cortisone. It included the farcical 'Vrijman Report' whose intent was to hide six EPO positives, and continued through to the suppression and avoidance of addtional testing for riders targeted as 'high-risk' by the UCI's own Passport program.

...It virtually impossible to avoid a conclusion that Henricus Verbruggen and Patrick McQuaid have willfully conspired to manipulate results and doping tests, possibly for their own financial gain.

Dave.

*Other than wacked-out fanboys, of course.

Let's see....

I thought the hypocrites in the clinic have decided that if somebody does not fight charges then they are assumed to be guilty. By this gauge, FL is obviously guilty of slander since he chose not to contest this issue. Bad FL, BAD!

So, why all of the screeching?

I am more upset with Hein, Pat and how they have run the UCI than I am with the FFF...

One created the environment for the other.

BAD FL. WORSE HEIN & PAT.

Hi Chris,
The issue is not if Floyd said that about our esteemed President(s) - I don't believe he would even deny it. So he is probably guilty of that.

The issue is did he defame them - I am hoping that there is a newsheadline tomorrow saying "Swiss Court rules UCI Presidents bowel movements normal".

Or, rather, still constipated.

As they, and the judgement, are full of it.

I was sort of thinking the same thing. In small type: "I am not allowed to say that..." and in large type "the UCI have concealed cases of doping, received money for doing so, have accepted money...." I doubt that the legal ruling specifies what kind of type the advertisement is supposed to say, so technically, he would be in compliance with the legal order.

 

[trailrunner]

However the plaintiffs could sue Landis in a USA court using deformation law.

But they aren't because they know they would lose big time.

 

[Microchip]

Could Floyd counter sue based on the pending USADA report...if it shows actual evidence of UCI corruption?

Sure hope so!

@ChrisE

If somebody who has the resources to fight charges doesn't, then they are presumed guilty, particularly if they have a reputation for never backing away from a fight.

If somebody who doesn't have the resources and can't really be adversely affected by the ruling doesn't fight the charges, they are not presumed guilty, particularly when their side of the story has been independently verified.

HTH

in order to fight the charges you need to be told about them legally, which according to FL's lawyers he wasn't


it's like me telling you i filed a suit against you and it was heard yesterday. you never bothered to show up so you are guilty and now owe me $10,000. when can i expect my money?

Well I think you need to add if a suit was filed in a country where you've never resided.

It's stretches the slapstick comedy even further.

Bit like the UCI telling us they can't sanction Ferrari based on USADAs ruling.

Good for the goose....

sure i can use your $10000 to buy it when you've paid me 8)
