Case study. Athlete is foud guilty of taking banned testosterone and publicised on front pages of british newspapers. Not a cyclist. She later goes on and prooves that sample changed without being tampered with from a clean sample to a sample containing testosterone. This happened due to the action of sunlight on the sample. Do we judge people to quickly and make too many assumptions that the labs are always right. ....... yes I think we do

I dont like the way riders are named after failing the A test before the B test is known. Unless both tests are positive then they shouldnt be named IMO.

It always worries me. You are potentially destroying a persons life with these tests, you have to hope the science is 100% right.

Didn't they find synthetic testosterone in Landis' sample though?

Diane Mohdahl, wasn't it? Tested as being 42 times more testosterone than normal - yet was pregnant a few months later.
