Floyd Lands v. The World

Today marks the beginning of the Floyd Landis vs. USADA hearing at Pepperdine University.

I could pretend that I have something insightful to say, but things being what they are, I do not. I do know that the next two days you can expect some really harsh language from the USADA. They've sat by while Floyd has been able to go on the attack. Right or wrong, there are only so many gut punches they can take. Not only will they come out swinging, but they'll be kicking and spitting as well.

Since I have little to say I'll offer some useful links:

1. Trust But Verify's Hearing Coverage--If it's said, it's here. Good, bad, and ugly. TBV has a bona-fide judge by his side who has actual years of lawyerin' under his belt. The honorable Mr. Hue will be watching along with the rest of us. Only smarter.

2. I don't have a second link. So, here's the stage in dispute, just for fun. If that doesn't satisfy you, here's The Clash's London Calling. Reason? No one ever needs a reason for The Clash.

Finally, as I'm prone to do, I made a Floyd Landis Hearing Mix. It's in a handy flash player, so you don't have to do anything. It starts off with Herve Villechaize (yes, Tattoo from Fantasy Island) and ends with Wilco covering Bob Dylan/The Band (technically, the Band's version). Songs of defiance and law. Or something.

I have been trying to work Herve Villechaize into anything for a long time. Today my dreams have been realized. In fact, he now has his own label.
