Grab the beakers and the test tubes and don't, whatever you do don't forget the proton synthesizer. We've got the gogles and the lab coats ready for us. Now, let's gets this experiment underway...It's the sports on china drive.
Now I am just hoping nothing blow ups, or makes me blind. Cause then I couldn't read. Not that I do a lot of that.
Testing Expert Questions Data in Landis Case
Shall we check in on the Floyd Landis, affair is what I am gonna have to call it now. Cause the word "hearing" just doesn't give it justice.
The witness was wagging his finger, wouldn't let anyone get a word in edgewise and warned everyone not to stake lives and careers on the basis of shaky scientific data. No, Dr. Wolfram Meier-Augenstein, a spikey-haired, jeans-wearing expert with a pinky ring and German accent who proved Monday that, indeed, not all dense scientific testimony has to be boring.
Flown to California in a private jet at Landis' expense, then whisked away just as quickly so he could make his return flight home to Ireland, Meier-Augenstein dominated most of the 8? hours of testimony.
That delayed Landis' return to the witness stand for his cross-examination, now scheduled for late today our time, the eighth day of a nine-day arbitration affair not just a hearing.
On Saturday, Landis told his story during friendly questioning, saying "it wouldn't serve any purpose for me to cheat and win the Tour, because I wouldn't be proud of it."
A three-man arbitration panel will decide whether to uphold the Tour de France champion's positive doping test, which would make him the first person in the 104-year history of the race to have his title stripped because of a doping offense.
And as promised it continues today with Landis' going to the stand.
