These emails are quite confusing

What I don't understand is that they think that revealing that Landis
was "blackmailing them" (can't really see any trace of that in the
emails, but let's assume he was) is going to help them avoid
discussing the facts at hand ? Something Landis has apparently been
doing with USADA (and obtaining immunity in the process?) ?

I'm waiting for the Landis spin on this. It reads like a blackmail attempt.

dumbass,

blackmailing someone only works if you have real dirt on them.

if landis is telling the truth, there is nothing illegal about it.

Thanks for that. It gives a rich new vein of memes for RBR:

1) It's great to see Floyd back in top form.
2) It's great to see Floyd smiling.
3) It's great to see Floyd and OUCH together again and back on top.
4) He's been through hell, give him a break.
5) Whether you believe him or not, you can't argue with the fact that
he has been punished a thousand times over.
6) I don't think he did it.
7) He didn't do it.
8) The french lab is a piece of s--t.
9) Let's move on.
10) Who cares about the past.
11) He overhauled the entire anti-doping system.
12) Check out his website and see what they did to him. (please do
this yourself if you haven't already)
13) He's working with the kids in South Central Los Angeles.
14) It's amazing to see him get through everything he has been
through and get back on top with an artificial hip!
15) Check out floydlandis.com for more info.
16) 2006 Tour of California Champion Floyd Landis.

You don't understand how these investigations work. Once the Feds get
their hands on this, it'll lead to another piece of evidence and
another. Things look bad for Landis. I guess that by this time next
week, he'll be indicted for being Julie Andrews.

Amit,

You've got that 100% wrong. Blackmailing - even when it's the truth
is still an illegal act that has criminal and civil liabilities.
Blackmailing involves the promise to not publically disclose truthful
information that otherwise would be legally or normally allowed.

I believe you're thinking of slander and libel where 'truth is an
absolute defense'

Yeah, but that's not going to make the facts go away, right ?

Timed well, a false charge could wreak havoc, like timing it so it
effects the Tour de France selection with insufficient time to prove
or disprove the allegation. With the few years LA has left to race
before he turns 50, missing a Tour could be devastating.
