Does it also bother you when prosecuting attorneys are "against the
defendents" rather than "fair"?

I completly agree with you. I just hate how pound wants to take all
these cases to the court of puplic opinon before they are in a real
court. I think its bad method of practicing law.

The two-sample process allows Jones to run another day, regardless of
what Pound thinks or says. How much further backwards do you propose
we should bend to be "fair" to someone who, in this particular case,
almost certainly has a long history as a drug cheat, at the expense of
clean athletes who after years of brutally hard work and dedication are
robbed of medals, winnings, and endorsements?

What I'm thinking is that the two sample system is not the best method.
I think a three sample system is best. That way if the A sample comes
up positive and the B sample contridicts the A sample the C sample
would be the tell all sample. Of course then you have the issue of what
about the C sample being wrong (thats what the athlete would say at
least). I think with the Landis issue three samples would settle it
once and for all.

I agree that Jones most likely is a cheat, and I wonder what a C sample
would have told. Its possible that the B sample is a false Negative.
