I guess now it's official.

What a shame. I'm disappointed in him.

... and for him, I hope. Perhaps another Lynford Christie conundrum. Landis seems pretty sure of his position and ready for a legal battle. However, the media and sporting fans are more likely to draw a line here and call it a closed decision - as they did with Christie and his infamous drug test following an event that logic says he would never have bothered trying to improve for.

Landis' situation makes no sense considering the support he received from previous team-mate Armstrong. Still, a second positive result is just that and he will have to work damned hard to prove otherwise. The accompanying two-year ban isn't going to help him either....
