Landis found guilty of defaming UCI chiefs
The Saudi Gazette Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 10 - 2012


PARIS — Disgraced Tour de France winner Floyd Landis must pay current and former UCI presidents Pat McQuaid and Hein Verbruggen 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,700) each after being found guilty of defamation by a Swiss court Wednesday. The Eastern Vaud District Court ruled that American Landis, stripped of his 2006 Tour title for failing a dope test, was forbidden to “state that the UCI, Pat McQuaid or Hein Verbruggen have concealed cases of doping, received money for doing so (or) have accepted money from Lance Armstrong to conceal a doping case”. A call to the UCI confirmed the document was genuine. — Reuters
