    The story leaked early, as usual. Yea...it's supposed to be confidential. Ha!

    True -- don't hang 'im until he's tried and convicted, but...how many B tests have actually ever disproven the A test? I don't recall even one (someone correct me, please, if there are cases out there). The Cyclingnews.com story also says that he was one of ten cyclists that had abnormal blood tests before the Tour even began, so he was on special watch from day one -- a marked man, so to speak.

    Re testing accuracy -- aren't the samples supposed to go to an independent lab too? I might be wrong -- it's been a while since I've thought about this stuff also, and a while since the new procedures were made known.

    I didn't used to be so cynical about the A/B test thing...but time has made me jump to accusal quickly, I guess. Just tired of hearing about these icons of the sport who think they are above the law. This sport can't take much more of the same.

    Ok, that's my soapbox speech. lol
