MALIBU, CALIF. ? Finally, it’s Floyd.

After sitting quietly at the defense table for five days, Floyd Landis will take the witness stand today in the most-anticipated moment of an arbitration hearing he hopes will confirm he’s the Tour de France champion.

The world will get to hear Landis’ version of events that led to a positive test for synthetic testosterone – and he’ll finally get a chance to put some good spin on a case that has not been going well, at least from a public-relations standpoint.

His testimony should refocus the issue away from the frenzy created by three-time Tour winner Greg LeMond’s bombshells. On Thursday, LeMond revealed he’d told Landis he was sexually abused as a child and that Landis’ manager, Will Geoghegan, used that secret to try to intimidate LeMond and keep him from testifying.
