Interesting.

I really have no idea what to think. I'd like to think that Landis won the Tour without cheating, but in today's world, with all the cheating going on everywhere, it's tough to believe that it couldn't have happened. The argument presented looks to be pretty convincing, but we're getting the point of view of the results of the test by those trying to clear Landis. They aren't going to point out anything that would be detrimental to what they're trying to do.

I'm curious to know that because Americans have dominated this event for 8 consecutive years now, if the French would cheat in testing urine samples to put an end to American dominance. It really isn't any secret that Americans and French aren't too fond of each other, but one would hope that sportsmanship would rise above it.
