Cyclist Floyd Landis, disgraced and stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title because of doping, became the subject of an arrest warrant Monday issued by a judge in France in connection with a nearly four-year-old computer hacking case.
The court wants to question Landis about charges that he or someone involved with the cyclist allegedly hacked into the computer system of the French national anti-doping lab.
Landis on Monday denied he hacked anything and said that no one has served any warrant against him, though he wasn’t sure whether his former coach, Arnie Baker, had received one. It was allegedly a computer registered to Baker that is associated with the case.
We here at the Finish Line believe it had to be his former coach. The only way Landis, who was born into an Amish family, knows how to hack into a computer is with a Phillips screwdriver.
