Cycling: American Floyd Landis today filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to have his two-year drugs ban overturned.
The disgraced 2006 Tour de France winner is appealing against the decision of the American Arbitration Association, who on September 20th disqualified him from last year's Tour after he tested positive for synthetic testosterone following his victory.
The 31-year-old has protested his innocence throughout.
The parties will file their written submissions in the coming weeks. No hearing date has yet been fixed but is expected to be early next year.
