I think Floyd is suggesting that collusion exists between the UCI, AC and the RFEC. Corruption.
I think Floyd would not have too hard of time proving this, first his reference to the UCI saying it would do no good to crucify Contador then you add this little mentioned fact from yesterday as to a partial reason for aquittal
"L'Equipe reported on Tuesday that there was a procedural flaw early in the case, which violated Spanish law.
A letter sent from the UCI to the Spanish federation on November 8 was not also sent to Contador and his legal representatives, the French newspaper said. This was said to be in violation of the Spanish constitution and the “rights of the accused to be informed”.
Gee UCI doesn't want to crucify AC and low and behold they make a procedural error that is in violation of Spanish Constitutional law, which results in his subsequent exoneration. Is that a friggin coincidence or what?!!!! Boy AC was sure lucky the UCI flubbed up on the law
what are the odds?
As far as Pat & co who are trying to intimidate Landis, their behaviour is always at the mercy of their ego. People like this frequently believe their own PR and have a tendency to take action that is pretty self destructive. Like an ill advised lawsuit to clear their good name(howls of derisive laughter). I can hear the lawyer pleading with them now,
"no no no you don"t want a lawsuit"
"yes we do, we need to teach this guy a lesson"
Now i would have also expected Botany Bay to have posted a pic of Eric Cartman/Pat McQuaid(there is quite a physical resemblance after all) in his faux police uniform screaming
'RESPECT MY AUTHOR-A-TAY!!!!!!!
