Tour Cyclist Yields Positive Sample for Doping
Landis Fails Drug Test After Triumph in Tour de France
Landis: Stigma 'May Never Go Away'
I think following the progress of the current drug charges against Tour de France winner Floyd Landis, charges that I believe are a continuation of the extensive witch hunt against Lance Armstrong, will be an instructive case.
In particular, it will open up the seemingly arcane but quite relevant issue of testing labs and their roles in brand destruction, even when clearly discredited by relatively objective third party analysis.
Not only will BDR's investigation raise questions about drug testing in sports but also in legal settings, such as the LAPD's criminal approach to drug testing, and in school setting where testing is used to maintain social order.
However, BDR will not be opening a case file on Barry Bonds due to lack of interest on the part of our key researcher, um, that's me!
This topic may also be a bit more enjoyable for those without interest in CIA tactics and strategies or Republican Party fun and games.
More soon. But you knew that already.
