Personally I dont see reports as been neutral, most investigators are biased in one way or another - I mean we have had massive political investigations here in this country (and in other first world countries) which have brought up findings witch are blatently biased in one or other direction - and proved so later - to get conclusive findings one needs to look at more than one report. I doubt, windbreaker, you are so naive as to believe everything you read, the fact is these labs are highly specialised, athletic dope testing is just a miniscule part of their overall business, they do tests daily where peoples lives, doctors integrity and surgeons decisions hang in their hands and on their reports, if they were in the habit of making these major errors in tests then surely we would be seeing a massive mortality rate at french hospitals?? Honestly mate, surely you cant believe they have no more interesting things to do with their time than maligning American athletes, or that their staff who are no doubt highly qualified men and women with the highest standards of integrity are somehow running some kind of clandistine operation aimed at ruining the careers of (only) american cyclists, then I dunno, I may just despair.!! To me the Landis case is quite clear, the tests found synthetic testosterone, the tests for this are universally regarded as returning correct findings, and unless Mr Landis somehow started producing synthetic products naturally - then I would say its going to be very,very,very difficult for him to explain that away.
