here we go again, same different day, landis and his coach accused of hacking, obviously a crook, landis is my eyes is pretty unscrupulous, and has no issue in breaking international laws, so not the first time, and on 2 unrelated and totally different counts
i've always said don't believe the tabloids, they'll do anything for a story and to sell newspapers / magazines and the like, innocent until proven guilty in my book...
the SI article never actually accuses or alleges if you read a bit closer, so where has this story come from and is going???

The 30-year-old Ukrainian cyclist has been a rider on three Armstrong teams since 2005, when they both rode for Discovery Channel.
Federal prosecutors have called several associates of Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, in recent weeks.
Allen Lim, an exercise physiologist for Lance Armstrong's RadioShack, appeared before the grand jury, as did Stephanie McIlvain, a long-time friend of Armstrong.
McIlvain's lawyer said she told jurors she never heard Armstrong admit taking banned performance-enhancing substances.

Landis and Baker are subject to an international arrest warrant and stand charged of "fraudulently breaking into a computer system", according to lawyer Frederik-Karel Canoy, who is acting on the behalf of the Vivendi media company.
Both Landis and Baker are suspected of illegally obtaining documentation from the French Anti-Doping Laboratory (LNDD) in a bid to contest the American rider's positive test results from stage 16 of the 2006 Tour de France.
Landis spent four years, and millions of dollars, in a bid to prove he never cheated to win the world's biggest bike race.
Earlier this year he finally confessed, though in explosive fashion - alleging that he and many other former teammates, including Lance Armstrong, had systematically doped for years.

Armstrong is the subject of a federal investigation in the United States after allegations of doping levelled by disgraced former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for using illegal substances.
A report by Sports Illustrated magazine, published this week, offered new evidence that claims to substantiate Landis' accusations.
However, Armstrong tweeted: "Great to hear that @usada is investigating some of @si's (Sports Illustrated's) claims. I look forward to being vindicated."
An upbeat Armstrong also received unexpected support from the respected medical researcher Robert Przybelski, who is quoted in the SI article on the subject of Armstrong's possible access to the hard-to-detect blood boosting drug HemAssist in the late 90s.
While the SI report, which catalogues the various allegations made against Armstrong historically and in recent years, never alleges Armstrong actually used the drug, it does quote Przybelski as saying a drug like HemAssist would be an ideal product to replace EPO - one that could have the same boost without the negative side-effects of blood thickening and strokes.
Lance Armstrong confident of being vindicated over Sports Illustrated claims
Lance Armstrong has welcomed reports that the US Anti Doping Authority (USADA) are considering investigatiing claims made in Sports Illustrated that have focused the doping spotlight on the Tour de France legend once again.
