Is that even a possibility? I'd wondered about that when reading the initial
report; I'd assumed it was simply a procedural issue, not a trial of facts,
but it appears that might not be the case. I'm surprised the French would
subject themselves to that sort of thing, instead of finding a way to accept
the results of the UCI, even though no longer accepting their authority in
other matters.
It's also possible, perhaps even likely, that they might be willing to
negotiate something with Floyd that simply keeps him out of the TdF for the
same amount of time as his UCI suspension, and nothing more. A bargaining
ploy to get him to at least tacitly admit guilt.
