Cyclist Floyd Landis's final appeal of the drug suspension that cost him the 2006 Tour de France title is tentatively scheduled to begin March 19.
The hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, known as CAS, is scheduled to last five days and will tentatively be held in New York, Landis's attorney, Maurice Suh, said in a telephone interview.
Suh added that Landis's defense team has submitted its written briefs to the three-man arbitration panel and that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has yet to submit its written material. He also said the hearing would take place behind closed doors.
A voicemail message left for USADA spokeswomen Carla O'Connell wasn't immediately returned and CAS Secretary General Matthieu Reeb couldn't be reached for comment. A telephone recording at the agency's Lausanne, Switzerland, headquarters said the office was closed for the holidays.
The arbitration panel for the appeal will be composed of attorneys David Williams from Auckland, New Zealand; Jan Paulsson from Paris; and David Rivkin from New York, the CAS Web site said.
Suh said he wouldn't seek to open the hearing to the public, as Landis requested during the initial appeal so that his defense could be widely heard.
