Floyd Landis must pay Pat McQuaid and Hein Verbruggen, the current and
previous presidents of cycling's world governing body, 10,000 Swiss francs (
6,600) each after the disgraced Tour de France winner was found guilty of
defamation by a Swiss court on Wednesday.
The Eastern Vaud district court ruled that the American, stripped of his
2006 Tour title for failing a dope test, was forbidden to "state that the
UCI, Pat McQuaid or Hein Verbruggen have concealed cases of doping, received
money for doing so [or] have accepted money from Lance Armstrong to conceal
a doping case".
It also said Landis was forbidden to state that the UCI "are clowns ... are
no different to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, or to make any similar allegations"
. A call to the UCI confirmed the document was genuine.
In 2010, Landis admitted to doping and alleged that Verbruggen and McQuaid
had accepted a donation from Armstrong to conceal a positive test in the
2001 Tour de Suisse.
Although the UCI admitted receiving $100,000 from Landis's former team-mate
Armstrong to help finance anti-doping measures, the sport's governing body
denied it was part of a cover-up.
According to the Eastern Vaud court, Landis must also publish the ruling in
several media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and L'Equipe, at
his own expense.
The former Sunday Times sports journalist Paul Kimmage, a former
professional cyclist, is also being sued by the UCI for repeated attacks on
the sport's governing body. | O****e

all his life in the career of cycling.
