Can the UCI be sued on American soil? After all, there seems to be ample evidence of damage to Lance's character right here in the USA as a result of the defamatory articles published as a result of this underhanded and illegal series of leaks over there.

I believe a petition was just filed to kick France out of the G8 for this.

No surprise. They have their agendas.

Maybe Hitman has some ideas about the legal ramifications for all this.
This is going to kill UCI's credibility.

What credibility?
As RV says, they have their agendas.

It'll be interesting to see what consequences, if any, that the employee faces. I seriously doubt that Lance want to get involved in yet another lawsuit.

Hey!!! The UCI President was the leak!

"The president of cycling’s world governing body supplied L’Equipe with documents the French sports newspaper used to accuse Lance Armstrong of doping at the 1999 Tour de France, World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound said Thursday.
Pound said he received a letter from Hein Verbruggen, head of the cycling body, known by its initials UCI, saying he had provided L’Equipe’s reporter with forms indicating Armstrong had tested positive for EPO during his first Tour victory.
“Mr. Verbruggen told us that he showed all the forms of Mr. Armstrong to L’Equipe and that he even gave the journalist a copy of one of the documents,� Pound said during a conference call from Montreal."
“I don’t understand why they’re not stepping up to that and saying, ‘Well, I guess we do know how the name got public, we made it possible,’ he said."

Oh, no! They suspended the guy! What a swift and harsh punishment! :rolleyes: And it was a "voluntary" suspension while they "investigate" the matter. Didnt they already investigate the matter, and find that the dude was the leak? :confused: What's left to investigate?!
