The Weekly Shakedown

(Every week there are a number of stories slip through the cracks here at ShakedownSports. These are just a few of them.)
A panel of arbitrators upheld Floyd Landis’ positive test results. The decision means that Landis will be stripped of his Tour de France title and he could face an additional two year ban from cycling. I guess Landis and his defense team didn’t make enough threatening phone calls.
Barry Bonds finally revealed what he thinks about the man who bought his 756th home run ball–Bonds called him and idiot and says the man wasted his money. Of course Bonds believes you should only spend money on things that allow you to make more money. Things such as the “cream” and the “clear.”
The Charlotte Bobcats finally acquired the domain name Bobcats.com, purchasing it this week from a bobcat breeder for $50,000. The purchase should spell the end of the team’s old official website, AdamMorrisonSucks.com.
The Cavs moved into a new $25 million practice facility this week, and as a joke somebody had the office of general manager and Duke alum Danny Ferry painted Tar Heel blue. What’s even worse is that the painters were paid with Visa and not American Express.
