 NEW YORK (AP) - Lance Armstrong believes an American jury surely would have ruled in favor of Floyd Landis, unlike the arbitrators who found him guilty of doping.
The seven-time Tour de France winner lamented the consequences of the panel disregarding "shoddy" lab work in his first public comments about last month's decision to ban Landis for two years and strip him of his 2006 Tour de France title.
"I didn't follow Floyd's case that much, but I will tell you, if that's a jury trial in the United States of America, with eight or 10 or 12 of our fellow citizens, you get off every time. Not that you get off, but you're vindicated," Armstrong told The Associated Press on Tuesday while promoting a new line of Nike apparel that supports his Livestrong campaign to fight cancer.
