    I'm not sure where AP and the other papers got their info. The UCI press release is nowhere near the length.

    I've still not seen anything official about the carbon isotope testing - anyone have a real link? Not just newpaper articles? It is the media that is reporting the exogenous testosterone. To my knowledge, the UCI hasn't confirmed it.

    To my knowlege the UCI has not explicitly released any of the results to the general public except to say they are averse. However in this article, at least a name is attached to the source of the the carbon isotope results report:

    According to various sources, Landis's "A" sample showed signs that some of the testosterone came from an outside source. Pierre Bordry, who heads the French anti-doping council, said Saturday that the lab found evidence of testosterone from exogenous sources in Landis' urine. "I have received a text message from Chatenay-Malabry lab that indicates the 'B' sample of Floyd Landis' urine confirms testosterone was taken in an exogenous way," Bordry told The Associated Press. "

    But that's just it -- "various sources". Who are they? Have they actually read the results? Is it someone who knows what they're talking about, or is it a clerk, or the night janitor, hoping to gain a bit of the spotlight? I've seen nothing concrete from the lab itself - just "well I was told this, or texted this"
