Landis appeal set for March
Floyd Landis's appeal of the doping ban that cost him the 2006 Tour de France title is scheduled to be heard by a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) panel in New York on March 19.
"We are really looking forward to appealing the (U.S.) decision and optimistic the CAS panel will view favorably for Floyd," Landis attorney Maurice Suh told Reuters.
The hearing represents Landis’s final opportunity to overturn a two-year doping ban.
Last year, a U.S. arbitration panel upheld findings by a French laboratory that Landis had used synthetic testosterone in winning the 2006 Tour.
"We will prove, once again, that the French laboratory's work violated numerous rules and proper procedure, rendering its results meaningless and inaccurate," Suh said last year in announcing Landis would appeal the U.S. panel's decision to CAS.
