Dr Mark Burnley already responded, picking holes at will in the study.

 

"no baseline measure of performance, no cross over, poorly controlled performance measure, not even matched pairs between groups".

 

ps- Ross Tucker is backing Mark's take that its a pretty awful attempt at a study.

That's the nature of peer-review, or at least peer-review in the modern era of blogs, twitter etc. In the old days, not necessarily good, one would write a letter to the Editor for publication in the Journal and the original author/s would have right-of-reply. 

 

The thing to remember is that the paper would already have been through a couple of reviewers and an editor, so certain peers presumably felt the paper was worthy of being published, as a contribution to knowledge; not necessarily as a definite piece of work.

I believe the MMR thing went through without. And that's when it all got messy

I have to say this pic get my ocd eye twitching. If I had 7 of those badboys they'd be in chronological order and all next to each other and each one would have it's own spotlight.

I don't know the detail of the MMR/Lancet thing well enough, but any time there's a press conference before publication, life gets messy.

Also, peer-review isn't an infallible, nor a rapid system, and if someone has limited/no integrity, then they often can get stuff published. Whether it stands up to corroboration by repeat study is another matter.....

A single study does not mean much at the best of times. You need a body of evidence, IE if you have 20 papers and 18 of them agree then you are talking.

I think LA would just be happy with his name back on the results sheet, he would never sue them

Fair swap. LA can leave his 7 framed yellow jerseys hanging in his house, Contador can wave his 3 fingers.  :D
