Not sure if this is the 1st of 24 tests to be conducted by a French organization, but it seems to me quite wierd that through all those tests there was never a problem with his cooperation until the French have to conduct the test.

If it wasn't obvious before, I think it is clear that the French just have it in for LA. Apparently they can't let go of the past and the fact he has "never" tested positive and now are fearful that LA may come back and win another TdF. I'ts obvious as PCad said that LA is great for the sport. More people watch when he is involved just as more people watch golf when Tiger is playing.....just to see what they can do.
