SandM said:Does anyone know where the Floyd Landis "message" was posted ?
Could it have been r.b.r ? Maybe he was CritPro.The message said, according to cyclingnews.com:
The USADA lawyer linked this to earlier statements made by Mr. Landis on an
internet message board in which Mr. Landis implied that this story, which
Mr. LeMond told him in private, would be divulged as apparent retribution
for Mr. LeMond's public "slander." On the message board in questions Mr.
Landis had allegedly posted a message saying, "If he ever opens up his mouth
again and the word Floyd comes out I will tell you all some things you wish
you didn't know and I will have entered the race to the bottom and is now in
progress."

I just googled for words from the quote. Someone else
can try finding the actual post inside dailypelotonforums.
Two things I don't get:
How did USADA know to call Lemond as a witness - did
Lemond contact them, or is it based on something
he already said publicly?
Second, is Greg making this public declaration to
preempt Floyd from telling all, as threatened above,
and WTF does either of those things have to do with
a nominal doping offense? You can't blame Floyd for
saying something that he hasn't actually said. (You
can conclude that Will Geoghegan, no matter what he
actually said to Lemond, is a freaking idiot, but
again WTF does that have to do with T/E ratios?)
I'm surprised, just from a strategy point of view,
that USADA chose to drag any of this into their case.
