Verdict on the Horizon...

Glad I am not the only one sitting here hitting the news page over and over...

Gives me something fun to do while drafting a letter to the presiding judge of Contra Costa County superior court about forgeries of judicial documents and legal docs by a former secretary of our firm... Floyd's not the only victim of record tampering here.... Shockingly easy to do. She forged my name to several docs so I have to see about putting some sort of fraud alert on my state Bar #. What a PITA.

Do you really think he would appeal?
I thought he was tapped out financially and it would certainly be stressful and emotionally draining.

As financially and emotionally tapped out as Floyd may be, he's certainly made it sound as if he would carry this fight as far as he possibly could. I don't know for sure that he would appeal, but if the verdict's in his favor I'd be very surprised if UCI &/or WADA didn't.

Politics.
It's all politics.

I've got money (well, not really) on a guilty ruling. Yeah, plenty of reasonable doubt - I just don't know if that's the standard - but we're talking about the French national lab. Yeah....Floyd will be the fall guy. Poor bass-tah-d.

Actually I think if Floyd were to be found innocent, it would put a lot of scrutiny on them. Floyd fought it because he had a reason to despite the fact it was a lot of money. For those who were accused and maintained innocence, it was easier to sit out the suspension. I still think Tyler was innocent so, you know, I'm bitter

according to this link the rumor of the announcement was unfounded

Here's Lance's prediction- BikeRadar.com: Landis gets Lance's backing. In a nutshell:

"I think conventional wisdom is that he will lose, because USADA has never lost a case," said Armstrong, the guest speaker at an Aspen Ideas Festival health forum discussion on Tuesday.
"The arbitrators don't ever rule for the athletes. Quite frankly the system is set up against the athletes. ... Unfortunately for him, I don't think he did it. That's always been my position and still is today, but I'm not sure that's he going to get a fair shake in this trial."
