"Mr. Weisel is prepared to say that the Justice Department's decision (to file a separate lawsuit), he believes is the correct result," said Weisel's attorney, Robert Sacks, a managing partner at Sullivan & Cromwell.

Anyway, Weisel using Lances frequent old chestnut of Floyd and Tyler "They are sworn liars" against Lance is a real hoot
ChewbaccaD said:The short answer to that is that anyone who helped commit the fraud is on the hook. I would have to dig back through, but I read that statement (not exact wording) in the Fraudulent Claims statute. Weisel is going to have a hard time convincing a jury he didn't know Lance doped when Lance says Weisel knew he doped. You have no friends joint and several liability.

“People say ‘Jesus, you had to know this was going on because everyone was doing it,’” Weisel added. “That’s not true. I never thought it was. And we certainly had part of our rider contract where if a person tested positive, they were off the team. We were very explicit there.”
webvan said:What ? That sentence doesn't even make sense, I suppose he said that the government were right to join Flandis?
Weisel is such a...weasel ! Who's going to believe him? Dopestrong will take him down witg him.
Race Radio said:While Weasel is mentioned in the suit the notice letter makes it clear that Weasel, Knaggs, and Stapleton are not targets right now, but they could be at any time. Weasel is saying the Feds decision to target Lance and Johan......and not him, is a a good thing
ChewbaccaD said:I am not going to assess the move by the Feds to not name Weisel as a defendant in Floyd's case, and to suggest they may name him in a separate suit because I don't know why they are doing that. I was merely making a case that Weisel is going to have a hard time if they do name him in a suit.

Velonews has a good analysis of why they are not targeting Wesiel, Knaggs, and Stapleton for now

spalco said:It seems we're talking about different things. I was suggesting that possibly Weisel is protected by being able to hide behind Tailwind, which appears to me at least to be a concern for Landis' lawyers.
The question, though, is why. Why Bruyneel and not Weisel? As usual, the answer may come down to money. Those whom the feds passed on may be working on settlement deals.

When did Floyd commit perjury? Assume during the SCA trial, has anybody read his transcript

ChewbaccaD said:Right now, Weisel is not a named defendant in the case. He is mentioned in the complaint, but that was filed in 2010. Right now, there is no case against him regardless of what the complaint says. Why? That is the question people are asking now.
EDIT: Now reading the Velonews piece posted by RR, as I suspected, the reason behind him not being named might be this:
Like I said yesterday, a unified defense is stupid. He who settles first settles best.
