If you have been following doping scandals in general you would know that this lab (LNDD) has a history of bad practice that is well documented.

The evidence in the Landis case only further confirms not only the labs general sloppiness and incompetence but thier willingness to violate fair medical and lab practices and WADA's failure to sanction the lab.

Unfortunately, poor or incompetent WADA leaders would rather see Landis go down than have all of thier faults exposed. The system is broken both for the athletes and the public. More thorough testing which is not so easily gotten around needs to be implimented. Also, an athlete has no recourse to hold the WADA or USADA responsible for upholding thier own standards. For bringing economically damaging frivolous charges again'st them. Given the possible error in this testing it should require that an athlete shows a pattern of irregular tests or if based off of one test the results must be beyond a reasonable doubt and show no errors in the testing method.

International law should allow athletes to sue these agencies for damages to hold the agencies up to a higher standard. They answer to no one.

What's going to come out in the end of this is how incompetent WADA leadership has been in dealing with poor quality labs and non unified international standards for testing.

What's more is that if pro teams had to pay extra money to finance the more thorough drug testing they would be less inclined to turn a blind eye to the doping that's going on.

In many cases all the sponser wants is thier team to win. Doping is fine as long as you don't get caught. Then if you get caught we abandon you.
