Zurich, 20 May 2010 – Business man and bicycle sports’ supporter Andy Rihs heard with great surprise the recent declaration made by the former bicycle racer Floyd Landis and resolutely denies these allegations in all aspects. Andy Rihs states that upon admission into the former racing team Floyd Landis personally agreed to honor our Code and not to engage in any illicit practices. Until detection of his doping abuse during the Tour de France in 2006 the entire team was convinced that he kept this promise. “Neither I nor the management of the team knew that Floyd Landis was doped” stated Andy Rihs. “His present statements according to which I was informed are lies”. It probably is a last tragic attempt of Landis to once again gain public recognition whilst step by step he has lost this in the last few years. “It is sad to have to see such a thing” said Andy Rhis, but at the same time Andy Rhis feels that his honor is severely hurt by such untruthful statements.
