NY Times said the lab that did the testing is not the trusted British lab, but the same lab that botched Lance's tests (in France).

I think I'll go have some Freedom Fries.

I remember the Lance tests, I have to suspect that the French are cheaters. :)

And now the organizers of the Tour de France are considering suing Landis for disgracing their event. Talk about nerve...the damned bicycle race started off with multiple disqualifications and withdrawls including some of the favored riders. Let's face it, the sport is rife with performance enhancing drugs.

If ever there was a group of people who deserve to go down in flames as a group, this is it.

That would be Guinea Pigs in the truest sense seeing as that the "team" immediately disposes of a rider who is suspected or tests out of range. The whole thing is a mess.

Seems we might be "missing" the point here...this is still CHEATING...they're adults and should know better...noones "slipping" them anything without their knowledge. Lets not make it some conspiracy to oust the americans. The winner cheated...he got caught. Fess up, give up your title, and hopefully move on.

Now should he be sued? hey...we're a litigious society in general, so why not? If they WIN the case...then i'll complain.

After BALCO, and the Major League Baseball's drug issue (McGuire, Concseco, Bonds, etc...) and Tour Cyclistst Landis, I was not suprised to read about another american caught cheating in this morning's NY Times. American Track Sprinter Marion Jones tested positive for EPO. She has been listed a number of times by a number of athlete's and BALCO founder Conte.

I guess when you need/want the $$$$$....
