Check the date again. The letter is dated from last week.sniper said:"Several months on and in a letter dated February 7, 2010, addressed to Landis, the UCI has given the American a 15-day window to retract his comments or face legal proceedings."
If he was going to sue, shouldn't he have sued already? I mean, that window is long gone.
ok, makes sense.Beech Mtn said:Check the date again. The letter is dated from last week.

Floyd has no money, nor will he in the future.
Landis probably gave it to NYVelocity, as they seem to be his new favorite, trusted internet media outlet. Even Kimmage endorsed them.sniper said:does anyone know how the letter got online?
Did Landis submit it to this guy Andy?
The fun thing is that they can do whatever they want in Switzerland, such a verdict in itself is not enforceable in the US, so even if they win, unless a procedure is started in the US to get the verdict enforcable (if there is some form of execution treaty) or otherwise perhaps even a completely new trial, Landis has nothing to worry about, unless perhaps he has assets in Switzerland. So he doesn't need to respond in any mannerthehog said:They're drawing Floyd out of his cave. Thinking if they tie him up in legal proceedings he'll crack mentally. In addition they know he can't use evidence in the Armstrong case and they want him to show some cards. Landis's (LeMond's) lawyers will respond with a letter refuting the claim asking for more evidence and the point of law which the parties feel they have been "injured". A tremendous waste of time and money on the UCIs behalf. But heck it stop Floyd saying "What about me"? - If Alberto is set free why did I not get the same pass for my tiny amount of drugs?
In other news FDJ confirms a bigger budget and 4 years of money along with an ardent anti-doping policy...... They fail to get a ProTour license..... what are the rules to get a license? They're not published. Even to the teams.
...and therein is the issue. This will go nowhere.Barrus said:Does anyone know Swiss law? Because it would appear odd to me in this case to start a suit against an US citizen for statements made in Germany which would probably not even account for a tort, let alone that the damage took place in Switzerland
Floyd has been receiving cease & desist letters since May. HV had already sent one to Floyd. What does it mean? Not a lot. Send the police around tell Floyd to stop name calling?Barrus said:The fun thing is that they can do whatever they want in Switzerland, such a verdict in itself is not enforceable in the US, so even if they win, unless a procedure is started in the US to get the verdict enforcable (if there is some form of execution treaty) or otherwise perhaps even a completely new trial, Landis has nothing to worry about, unless perhaps he has assets in Switzerland
Hello Mr Ditesheim'
I haven't heard from you in a few days and thought I'd drop you a note with a few things to ponder. I'd like you to please try to reconcile this (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/carpani-says-uci-pleased-with-spanish-federations-handling-of-contador-case) with your threat of litigation in light of todays exoneration of Alberto Contador. I look forward to your explanation.
Thank You
Floyd Landis
Does Floyd now like CN again?Roadent said:Awesome update from Floyd himself:
