Arbitrators named for Landis hearing

The names of the arbitrators in the Floyd Landis hearing before the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have been released. They are Christopher Campbell, selected by Landis; Richard McLaren, selected by USADA; and Patrice Brunet, whom the other two arbitrators chose as the panel's chairman, the Los Angeles Times has reported. The hearing is scheduled to open May 14.

Campbell is a San Francisco attorney and former Olympic wrestler, who previously had been selected by Tyler Hamilton in the hearing of his case for blood doping. That hearing ended with a two-to-one ruling that Hamilton should be banned for two years, with Campbell dissenting.
