The Floyd Landis doping case
Main article: Floyd Landis doping case
Arnie Baker was involved in the defense of Floyd Landis who had failed a drug test
while leading the Tour de France.[1][2] He was given a 12-month suspended sentence
by a French court for his use of documents obtained by hacking in this defence. The
court itself has said that no evidence linked him to the hacking.[3] He has
consistently denied having had any role in the hacking or in having knowingly
received illegally obtained documents. He denounced the French case against him as
"deeply flawed."[4]
