“All I want to do before I take any questions is ask that everybody take a step back - I don’t know what your position is now, and I wouldn’t blame you if you were a bit skeptical because of what cycling has been through in the past and the way other cases have gone - but all I’m asking for, just for me, is that I be given a chance to prove that I’m innocent. Cycling has a traditional way of trying people in the court of public opinion before they get a chance to do anything else. I can’t stop that but I would like to be assumed innocent until proven guilty, since that’s the way we do things in America.”

That’s how Floyd Landis began his teleconference with reporters. You can read the rest of it at the top of this news report.
