How will Lance get out of this:
The French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) is offering to re-test Lance Armstrong's samples from the 1999 Tour de France so that he can prove once and for all that doping allegations published by French sports daily L'Equipe in August, 2005 are false. AFLD president Pierre Bordry is volunteering to serve as an arbitrator between L'Equipe and Armstrong. According to Bordry, Jacques de Ceaurriz, the director of the French national anti-doping lab (Laboratoire National de dépistage du dopage (LNDD)), which AFLD oversees, has reassured him that enough of the samples remain for re-testing purposes. Bordry, who referred to Armstrong as "a great champion," is offering to have the samples re-tested at any WADA-accredited laboratory in Europe. (source: L'Equipe)
Note: The L'Equipe article was written by Damien Ressiot (L'Equipe's doping reporter behind the 2005 allegations) who referred to Don Catlin, the world-renowned anti-doping expert who will be closely monitoring Armstrong during his comeback, as "very controversial". Ressiot failed to similarly qualify the LNDD, truly the world's most controversial anti-doping laboratory which has come under fire even within France. |

Score another one for anti doping authorities. I"m starting to get optimistic here for once. |

"Re-testing of blood samples for 10 riders (not 14 as originally reported) who competed in the 2008 Tour de France began on Monday. Under the direction of the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD), anti-doping laboratories in Paris and Lausanne are testing for CERA, a form of EPO. Testing is expected to last about two weeks but the results for three of the riders should be known this Friday or next Monday. (source: L'Equipe)"

Lol, is anything expected to come from the tests. Or is it just the truth? |

People seem to be living under the illusion that anything will actually happen. It won't. Just like the re-testing of the Giro samples from which nothing ever came.

I thought that Sella was caught after they retested the Giro samples. |

Emanuelle Sella is now saying that it was his team mate Matteo Priamo who gave him CERA.

Yeah, why blame it on Priamo? It was himself who took it, if he didn't want it, he could just said no.

You're missing the point entirely. The point here is Priamo getting suspended.
