The UCI won its case against Floyd Landis but as victories go, this is a weak one. What ever Landis might have said in the past a Swiss court has ruled he is forbidden to state that the UCI, Hein Verbruggen and Pat McQuaid:
- have concealed cases of doping
- received money for doing so
- have accepted money from Lance Armstrong to conceal a doping case
- have protected certain racing cyclists
- concealed cases of doping
- have engaged in manipulation, particularly of tests and races
- have hesitated and delayed publishing the results of a positive test on Alberto Contador
- have accepted bribes
- are corrupt
- are terrorists
- have no regard for the rules
- load the dice
- are fools
- do not have a genuine desire to restore discipline to cycling
- are full of shit
- are clowns
- their words are worthless
- are liars
- are no different to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi
Yes, those are the exact words of the court translated into English, complete with clowns, shit and Gadaffi. If you want to stop reading now and just laugh, go ahead. The extra text below is a bit more serious.
