 MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Finally, it's Floyd. After sitting quietly at the defense table for five days, Floyd Landis will take the witness stand Saturday in the most-anticipated moment of an arbitration hearing he hopes will confirm he's the Tour de France champion.
The world will get to hear Landis' version of events that led to a positive test for synthetic testosterone — and he'll finally get a chance to put some good spin on a case that has not been going well, at least from a public-relations standpoint.
His testimony should refocus the issue away from the frenzy created by three-time Tour winner Greg LeMond's bombshells. On Thursday, LeMond revealed he'd told Landis he was sexually abused as a child and that Landis' manager, Will Geoghegan, used that secret to try to intimidate LeMond and keep him from testifying.
