Well, as much as I hate it, his time has been served, he should be allowed back same as anyone else.

Landis is a disgrace, he would never be allowed back to major events surely.

To clarify -- Landis did not test positive for elevated levels of testosterone. He tested positive for a high ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone. Then a follow-up test suggested that he might have artificial testosterone in his system. Five of six arbitrators agreed, though they also found the lab at fault for a few errors in protocol.

Landis also got a big fine from CAS I believe for taking the whole thing to court. Like anyone else, if you serve out your sentence, one should be able to come back.

ok 2 things
1. if he was so guilty why would he go to such and effort to get the doping tests revoked???and why would he want to come back to the tour de france ...this can only mean he wants to prove he can and did do it in 2005 (was it) without extra testosterone which in his defence he said he had naturally high levels which is possible.

2. for those people who say that it is a disgrace he is taking part in the tour de france after getting a ban... the point of a 2 year ban is that after the 2 years you are allowed and ahould caome back to the sport otherwise what is the point of a 2 YEAR ban????

"The 32-year-old American was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone"

The horrible thing here is that despite Landis's extreme efforts he has not been able to educate the media in the slightest. This utterly shoddy and incorrect news reporting is pitched at the same level as the French labs that Landis tried to stand up to.

If more people fought for justice the way Landis did then we might actually develop a better justice system - one that works perhaps.
