The investigators in the case claimed Landis and former coach, Arnie Baker — who also received a suspended prison term of 12 months– attempted to hack into a computer of the antidoping lab. The two men were among five defendants in the case, in which the Chatenay-Malabry lab claimed hackers intruded into its computers. The lab claimed in November 2006 that its systems were infected with a “Trojan Horse” virus that allowed hackers to access certain data.
The court also gave Alain Quiros, who has acknowledged hacking into the lab, a six-month prison sentence and a fine of 4,000 euros ($5,416), according to The Wall Street Journal.
