It actually started when they violated protocols by releasing LA's name in the press as EPO+ without having the ability to confirm the test as required in the rules.
Most people know that their results are probably correct, but the attitude in the US is that if you are going to ruin someone over a result, you'd better be damned sure its accurate. If protocols are violated to get the result, it raises questions over the rest of the result. Thats just the way it is. Most people have great suspicion over LA, and most think FL's tests were accurate, but the messy work, the leaking to the press...they make it stink just a bit, so it leaves a sense that the lab is happy to nail them...leading to questions...did they "help" the results? If i's were dotted, t's were crossed and they didn't run to the press the moment they found something, none of this would be an issue.
