The courts are always right??? OJ Innocent in one court. OJ Guilty in another court. The drug tests are perfect and always tell the truth??? We are living in Fantasie Land if we believe everything is in fact true (maybe I should say if anything is true).

Another thing here George....as you have said before....accusations don't make Proof Positive....why in this case is it allowed?

He said these things, but was never able to back up his allegations....

Dr. Wade Exum's report that 19 American medallists were allowed to compete at various Olympic Games from 1988 to 2000 despite having earlier failed drug tests shocked some people in the sporting community but was no surprise to others. "There is no commitment to stopping the drug problem," said track and field star Carl Lewis in 2000. "People know the sport is dirty, the sport is so driven by records." Little did Lewis know he would be named in Exum's report. The five-time Olympic medallist was among the athletes named in more than 30,000 pages of documents released by former U.S. Olympic Committee anti-doping chief to Sports Illustrated and several newspapers in 2003. I rest my case www.cbc.ca/.../index4.html "Exum had planned to use the documents in a lawsuit against the U.S.O.C. alleging racial discrimination and wrongful termination, but the case was dismissed in federal court last week because of lack of evidence." From an article in the NY Times....sounds like someone with an ax to grind! George......Why was this thrown out of court?

Ahhh, shades of the past are coming to light---

So, can we just go ahead and assume you won't be backing anything you post with actual facts then? I'm done arguing with you, pointless and you change tenor hourly. At least tjburk is honest in his arguments. Geek I hate to say this you are full of Crap.

Finaly a sensible response. You did not call me a liar. George, What leads you to believe that the testing is not reliable. Sure there will always be cheats who get away with it. Otherwise nobody would cheat any more. I am not familiar with the science behind the analyses performed to test for doping, but even so, I place a fair amount of faith in it. The issue with the French Lab and Floyd Landis was that there were several errors in their procedures. That and the fact that his A sample tested clean. Some technician decided to test the B sample because they believed he was cheating. Now, not only did the tester know whose sample they were testing, even if they did produce a positive, it is no longer reproducible. The only reason for having an A and a B sample is so that a DIFFERENT lab can reproduce the positive test by testing the B sample. In addition, the French lab, the very same one that leaked supposed positive B samples from Armstrong to L'Equipe, didn't properly train their technicians, didn't have manuals for the testing equipment and didn't follow international testing protocols. I don't necessarily believe that Landis was innocent, but the lab certainly didn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was guilty. I also agree with everyone here that an elite athlete who falls under the USADA anti-doping rules, is ultimately responsible for what goes into their bodies. T.J. Morton

You are trying to find reasons other than the obvious reason.

Is it possible the Clenbuterol they have used in the Beef, Pork, Chicken and Fish industry could be the source??? www.google.com/search Sure, and she is the only athlete that tested positive who eats meat, poultry, or fish, give me a break.
