Landis urine sample clean? Lab discredited?
Part of the urine sample that disqualified Tour de France cycling champion Floyd Landis for drug use was mislabeled by the lab, Le Monde reported.
Landis's laboratory identification number was different than the one cited on the French lab report of the second half, or B part, of the urine, the French newspaper said, without citing a source. The administrative error doesn't mean the B sample used to verify the existence of the banned drug testosterone didn't belong to Landis, Le Monde said.
Attorneys representing Landis are trying to discredit the laboratory in order to clear the U.S. cyclist's name, Le Monde said. The latest information will be presented at a slide show about Landis in Tucson, Arizona, on Nov. 17, the night before the 16th annual Tour de Tucson. Landis repeatedly has denied using drugs.
