I think that if in the USA the police serve a search warrant on your
house by accident (for example, they meant to go to the house next
door), whatever they find there is not admissible evidence, not even
for getting another warrant.

It's a very similar situation with the Landis tests.

I, for one, am very saddened, however, about the final test results.

The Landis case doesn't involve a trial. It involves rules surrounding being
involved in sporting competition at the professional level. You can't apply
rules of American criminal procedure to this situation, which is neither
fully American nor criminal.

Me, too.

Lemme see if I got this straight...

The original screening test was found to be "improper" and its result was
thrown out...but the 2nd "confirmation" test result was upheld despite the
fact that it would never have been done in the first place if the first
*had* been done properly and had come up negative?

...this is "justice"???

The reason for a test being performed has no bearing on the credibility of
its result.

I disagree, especially as the *same* laboratory that produced the "improper"
initial result also did the follow up...
