Floyd Landis won the 2006 Tour de France.

 

The Wiki Defense is about the science debunking Floyd’s allegedly positive test for testosterone on Stage 17.

 

Floyd is simultaneously publishing his story, Positively False.

 

We coined the term “Wiki Defense” for our open defense of this fatally flawed test.

 

We posted, online, the entire 370-page document package (doc pac) outlining the details of the claim of the lab, the Laboratoire National de Dépistage du Dopage (LNDD) and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) against Floyd.

We also posted the What’s Fair is Clear slide show outlining some of the readily apparent problems with the claim.

 

With this document, we outline details of procedural and interpretative problems with the claim.

The document was very much our working defense, written in point style, rather than as a narrative.

 

“Wiki wiki,” is a term that translates to “quick” or “hurry up” in Hawaiian. Of course, it is also the root word in Wikipedia, the online collaborative encyclopedia.

 

The vast majority of anti-doping scientists in the world work for World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratories and are prohibited from assisting athletes in their defense.

 

By posting Floyd’s case publicly, we were able to rapidly send out to the public details of the flaws in the report as well as receive from the public comments that helped us learn more about the lab’s errors.

 

This document represents the collaborative of our defense team. The nucleus of our team includes Floyd (who was very involved at every step); his manager Will Geoghegan; attorneys Howard Jacobs, Maurice Suh, and Daniel Weiss; ex-UCLA Olympic Anti-Doping Laboratory Director of Client Services and attorney Paul Scott; and public relations experts Michael Henson and Brain Rafferty.

 

Key roles were also played by Floyd’s personal physician Brent Kay and Phonak team physician Denise Demir.

 

Our roughly dozen experts each made substantial contributions within their respective fields. Many of these experts worked pro bono—at no charge—because they were committed to righting an injustice.

 

David Brower, initially a complete stranger to Floyd, independently posted multiple daily news reports, research, and commentary on a website devoted to Floyd’s case, Trust But Verifyhttp://trustbut.blogspot.com/index.html?com.

 

Finally, truly, our defense team included the public contributions made by readers of our online defense—including scores of scientists.
