Floyd Landis, a cyclist who won a medal at the Tour de France in 2006 is now suspected of hiring a hacker to modify lab results after being accused of using drugs during the competition.

Arnie Baker, who at the time was his coach, is also accused of the same crime after they long contested the decision of a court regarding the use of drugs.

After a long battle, they finally admitted that they used drugs to enhance Landis' performance at the competition, but it seems as during this period they hired a hacker to break into the test lab's computer system and alter the evidence to make it look like it was not properly handled.

The same cybercriminal that did the job for the cyclist is suspected of hacking Greenpeace some time ago.
