Unfortunately, he will still lose in the court of public opinion. It will most likely be viewed as a "technicality." To be honest, I think the additional B samples are telling. Although not AAF, they do seem to show something not right was going on. Recently there was a article out of Switzerland that stated 49 of the 189 riders in the 2007 tour were most likely doping even though the tests didn't rise to the standard of a positive test. What changes? Well, he is vindicated I guess. Nothing really changes. It is just differing opinions. Often an appellate court or trial court can decided an issue one way and the Supreme Court goes the other way. That is why we have a process. I guess I will be forced then to always be in doubt, just the other way. He will be cleared, but I will always wonder if he was guilty. Now, I think he is guilty, but wonder if the system of testing failed. David,
