Landis needs to be aggressive in defense
Reports have stated that Landis’ Stage 17 drug test have come back positive. In case you didn’t know, that is the single stage that won Landis the Tour.
This current situation is completely different than the allegations against Armstrong. Armstrong cannot go into the past, he cannot even have a second sample tested. Landis can do both in this situation. First, he can have his B sample tested to see if there are any irregularities. Even if that does come up positive, he can submit himself to independent testing to see if this is just a naturally occurence ala Rutger Beke.
In any event, Landis needs to go on the aggressive to prove his innocence. If he take the relaxed attitude towards this, like he does everything else, we will be seeing him banned from cycling.
