Actually, someone pointed out that the lab could set the schedule after
the 5 day period where Landis could make a request. The UCI might have
jumped the gun by a few hours, but basically Landis time had run out
so the 10 day window for scheduling the test was starting. The UCI can
do the test with or without Landis' request if they want to.

I have not read the rules. I thought that the B sample
could not be unsealed without the athlete or a
representative present.

Actually, there is a note after Article 90 that says that the failure
of any party to have an observer does not invalidate the test.

Opps after article 86. Here are the regs:

I see that if the license-holder requests a
counter-analysis he has the right to be present, but the
counter-analysis may proceed when he does not appear for
it. Two questions:

Did Landis request a counter-analysis?

The press is confusing on that. I think Landis lawyer sent the request
at the "last minute". The UCI said that they scheduled the test before
getting the request.

If the license-holder does not request a counter-analysis
may the UCI unseal the B-sample anyway?

Yes. I think that is in Article 90.
