Lawyer Up

Now that he's back in California, Floyd Landis has hired attorney Howard Jacobs, who has represented several athletes -- including Tyler Hamilton -- in cases involving performance-enhancing drugs. And Jacobs didn't waste much time criticizing the International Cycling Union for leaking the results of the Tour de France winner's positive "A" sample drug test, saying it breached the organization's own rules.

TODAY'S EXCUSE:
Dehydration the latest cause offered for Landis' elevated testosterone levels (you mean it wasn't the Jack Daniels? -- see Yesterday's Excuse)
Jim Litke: Phantom twins, vindictive exes, and the CIA: Who spiked my sample?
Andrew Vontz: As the rumors swirl in the Landis saga ...
Ray McNulty: We care about Floyd only because of Lance (this one is really dumb!)
Photo: Floyd has more lawyers than Phoney-ak teammates. Look at the size of those briefcases! And those nice suits! Who's paying these guys, Floyd? (AP/Remy de la Mauviniere)

YESTERDAY'S EXCUSE:
Carl Bialik: Floyd Landis's Alcohol Defense
Selena Roberts: Whiskey Defense: Seems Like Another Whopper

TOMORROW'S EXCUSE:
