French media have reported that American Floyd Landis has declined a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency request to release remaining urine samples from last summer’s Tour de France for additional testing.

Landis, who is scheduled to appear before a USADA panel in May, had been asked to permit the release of remaining B-samples for tests to detect the presence of exogenous testosterone.

Makes sense to me. Why risk what would be an assured third failed test if you are trying to clear your name? No need to go the extra kilometer to cooperate if it’s easier to just tie things up in court instead.

Floyd Fairness Fund. Those of you still not convinced can send your money.
