ti-anslate this quotation fi-om the news website n-tv.de, dated August 5, 2006 into
English:

Thomas Bach (Vice President, Internafional Olympic Committee, President,
German Olympic Committee): The Landis case is a model example for the
proposition that the sport must independently act as quickly, as relentlessly, and
witli the most effectiveness that it can against transgressmg athletes. Landis can now
immediately be suspended and as a result of the process will be suspended for two
years without his excuses hindering that process. This is exactly tlie poHcy that we
stand for in the IOC and in German athletics, and the policy that we want. If we
depended only on the legal system, months and years could go by in a foiXQal court
before a doper could be removed from the sport.

Dated: September 24, 2008

I declare under penalty of peijuiy under
the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is tme and coirect and that this
declaration was executed this 25th day of June 2008 in San Pedi'o, California.

Seth Davidson, Esq.

Thomas Bach (lOC-Vize und DOSB-Prasident): "Der Fall Landis ist
ein Musterbeispiel dafur, dass der Sport selbst am schnellsten,

haitesten und damit wii-kungsvollsten gegen iiberfuinte Athleten vorgehen
kann. Landis kann nun sofoit suspendieit und in der Foige des Verfahrens
flh- zwei Jalii-e gespeat werden, ohne dass seine Ausreden dies verhindern.
Genau dies ist die Linie, die wii- im Internationalen Olympischen Komitee
und im deutschen Sport vertreten und wollen. Wurde man allein auf
staatliche Gesetze setzen, konnten vor ordentlichen Gerichten Monate und
Jahi-e vergehen, ehe Dopingsiinder aus dem Verkehr gezogen waren. "
