The real nightmare is that L'Equipe is the official leak of the AFLD.

ilan, as much as I respect and even admire your posts about cycling in
France, your cheap shots and rants against L'Equipe are really
annoying. The bottom line to me is that it doesn't matter how the news
gets out as long as it's the truth.

As far as I can remember, L'Equipe only really failed once, that was
in 1998 when they ferociously attacked Aimé Jacquet, they later
apologized. They certainly are NOT the cheap rag you try to picture.

What about the "investivative" report on Armstrong in 2005 in which
they lied to Armstrong and to the UCI (their head doctor subsequently
resigned for having believe their lies) and then managed to find
unethical members of the LNDD to help them and finally got the support
of the head of the LNDD, whose research results were savaged. That
shoddy article is now accepted as fact in France.

While they may have used questionnable methods they did expose him as
a cheat, look at the bottom line ilan.

The bottom line is that the head of the LNDD, whose anonymous research
data was illegally used by L'Equipe, signed his name to an article
right next to the article using said illegal data. He also made no
effort trying to locate the person who leaked the information
(shouldn't have been too hard, as it was probably him) and has since
made no effort to stop the continuing leaks to L'Equipe. The head of
the laboratory has shown no respect for scientific research and legal
protocols (as opposed to the head doctor of the UCI who resigned when
he realized that he had accepted L'Equipe's lies) so I conclude that
the whole laboratory is also wanting. All conclusions from that
laboratory are suspect, as far as I'm concerned. In the case of
Armstrong, the conclusions have absolutely no scientific validity
since scientific principles were not followed. Recall that both the
IOC and the UCI chastised the LNDD for this incident and threatened to
withdraw their accreditation.

The LNDD Armstrong case represents what I believe is the greatest
danger right now, that scientific principles, which are the basis of
the doping tests, will be abandoned for political expediency.
