It looks like both Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong will be racing at the Leadville 100 mountain bike race on Aug. 11 afterall.
Rob Lucas at UltraRob Adventures first had the scoop last week, as he pieced together some info about Armstrong riding part of the Leadville course with trainer Chris Carmichael and scheduling a charity event in Colorado Springs — 3 hours away — on Aug. 9 …

Seattle area cycling fans gave a warm welcome Thursday to Floyd Landis at perhaps his best appearance so far on a cross-country book tour to promote “Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France.”
“You guys in Seattle got 'em all beat. Even better than Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” Landis told me as he neared the end of a 1-1/2 hour session signing books (and shirts, and posters, and a bike).
Maybe he was just playing to the locals, but he did fill a room adjacent to Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park with some 500 cycling fans, many fresh off their bikes, who gave him a standing ovation when he entered. ……

If you're interested in the Floyd Landis case and you have a half hour, head on over to the National Public Radio and listen to his Wednesday interview on “Talk of the Nation.”
It's part of his nationwide book tour to publicize “Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France.”
If you don't have a half hour, you can read an excerpt from the book that describes his ride on Stage 17 of the Tour de France. …

Floyd Landis will be visiting the Seattle area this Thursday to sign copies of his book, “Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France.”
The timing could prove interesting, as a decision by a three-judge arbitration panel on the doping charges brought by the US Anti-Doping Agency could be announced at any time.
Landis is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m. Thursday at Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park Towne Plaza, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park. That's the shopping center right across the street from the intersection of the Burke-Gilman Trail and Ballinger Way …

If you've already seen and heard enough of Floyd Landis, well, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Landis' book, “Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France,” comes out June 26 and he'll immediately start a book-signing tour that will take him to bookstores across the country.
I'd expect Landis, and maybe co-author Lauren Mooney of Bicycling magazine, to appear on radio and TV talk shows at the same time.
And don't leave out Landis's doctor, Arnie Baker….

Eating too many doughnuts lately was Floyd Landis' excuse for an 8th place finish in the hill-climbing competition at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail.
Waiting to hear the results of a three-judge arbitration panel that could ban him from professional cycling for two years, Landis visited the extreme games event to meet and greet the public.
The course record up …

Floyd Landis finally got to the witness stand on Saturday to testify — I assume to no one's surprise — that he did not take performance-enhancing agents to win the 2006 Tour de France.
The surprise is that Landis was present, but unaware, when his business manager made that infamous call to Greg LeMond threatening to make public the story that LeMond had been sexually abused as a child.
Apparently they were sitting apart at dinner on Wednesday night, and Landis saw Will Geoghegan make a short phone call. Soon thereafter he got a call back but didn't answer it. Later, Geoghegan appears shaken up and tells Landis what he did. …

Floyd Landis wanted a full and open hearing to defend the accusations that he doped during the Tour de France so the public could judge the veracity of the evidence against him.
What viewers got on Thursday was a tawdry peep show that had little relevance to the accusations, but revealed much about the depths that each side would sink to gain an advantage.
It happened when three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond was called to testify about a phone call he'd had with Landis soon after the doping allegations surfaced last year. …

The US Anti-Drug Agency vs. Floyd Landis is now available in live video streaming and with video replays of previous testimony.
Simply, follow this link to the Floyd Landis case website, then follow the instructions there. On Wednesday, viewers were directed to a login page at Courtroom View Network where they logged one using a “Username” and “Password” provided on the Floyd Landis website.
I'm not repeating the username and password here, because they're different than the ones offered initially on Monday and might change again. However, problems encountered on Monday appear to be resolved. …

(Updated) The US Anti-Doping Agency vs. Floyd Landis hearings, which began Monday, will be made available for viewing online at the conclusion of the days' proceedings.
Almost from the start, the Landis defense team has sought total visibility for the process used to try athletes for doping allegations. Making the videos available through Courtroom View Network is the latest manifestation of that. …
