: Landis' father-in-law, David Witt, is found dead in his car in a parking lot in North Park, San Diego, having shot himself. Landis would later tell The Mail on Sunday: "I don't know why he did it,ℱ but I'd be deluding myself if I thought the dope case did not play a big part in his stress.”

: Jacobs formaജlly requests the US Anti Doping Agency drop its case against Landis. It followed a review of the 370 pages of documentation provided by the LNDD laboratory at Chatenay-Malabry, in which Jacobs’ team found inconsistencies in the way the urine sample was handled that call into question the validity of the result.

: USADA announces it will proceed with the ca💧se after reviewing Jaco🧸bs’ request.
