Anti-doping agency to seek court costs from Landis - 13, May 2008

MONTREAL (Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Monday it may seek $1.3 million in court costs from disgraced Tour de France winner Floyd Landis if the cyclist fails to win his appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).



By Steve Keating
MONTREAL (Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Monday it may seek $1.3 million in court costs from disgraced Tour de France winner Floyd Landis if the cyclist fails to win his appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The new chairman of WADA John Fahey discussed the possibility of recovering court costs after chairing his first major meetings at the doping agency's Montreal headquarters last weekend.
Fahey's predecessor Dick Pound has been critical of the International Cycling Union's unwillingness to contribute financially to the court costs that Fahey said stood at around $1.3 million.
Landis, who has denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs, is awaiting the results of his final appeal against a positive doping test that stripped him of his Tour de France title.
The American cyclist tested positive for elevated testosterone to epitestosterone levels after his stunning victory on stage 17 of the 2006 Tour.
CAS staged a five-day appeal hearing in March and a decision is expected next month.
"The normal process for costs and proceedings will be followed," said Fahey, a former Australian finance minister who took over as WADA chairman from Pound in January.
"Clearly the decision has to be made and I understand that is not too far away but of course it is a matter for the tribunal of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to when they release the decision.
