French people hate American cyclists. Floyd Landis is no exception. The French have been trying to bury this guy for years. Now, a French judge has issued an arrest warrant for Landis.
Landis was summoned by a judge named Thomas Cassuto from the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Nanterre. Cassuto believed that Landis tried to hack into a doping agency to prove the tests on his samples were wrong. Pierre Bordry, the head of the French anti-doping agency, had this to say:
“It seems that (Landis) made all he could to enter into our computer system to try to prove the laboratory was wrong. He showed many documents he got by hacking to numerous sporting instances. The judge traced a network of hackers back to the ringleader.”
The doping agency said that the hacking occurred in September of 2006. The tribunal judge issued the warrant for Landis’ arrest on January 28th.
