USA Cycling comments on the Landis case

USA Cycling, the national federation responsible for handling the Floyd Landis doping case, has issued a statement following Saturday's news that the B sample analysis confirmed the A result. USA Cycling will start disciplinary proceedings against Landis, and has "referred the case to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) as the organisation solely responsible for the adjudication of anti-doping cases involving American athletes in the Olympic movement.

"To maintain the same level of sensitivity and respect for both the rights of all athletes and due process as the Landis case enters the formal disciplinary phase, we will continue to refrain from comment until USADA reaches a final determination and all appeals are exhausted," said Steve Johnson, CEO of USA Cycling.
