From CN:
"You want that the testing will be 100% accurate. You don't want to end up
paying a year's salary [out of error]. You sign this document hoping that
they act in good faith because I am acting in good faith, but you never

He may have difficulty passing an IQ test if he really believes the UCI or
WADA act in good faith.

Think King Solomon. Harsh yet effective judgments. That sort of
thing.

I wrote biblical for a reason. If I'd written Biblical, I would have
meant something different.

BTW, if you really want to, there's a nifong load more to criticize
about my musings then my choice of words.

No, I'm not quoting Shylock and I know what I'm thinking, thank you
very much. Biblical has more than one definition - look it up. If I
said I am going to go medieval on your ass, would you read that to
mean that I was going to take your ass back in time, or simply beat
the crap out of you?

Pardon me, I clearly have /no/ idea what you were thinking when you
wrote "biblical." That's after taking your advice and looking it up.

This does reek of a one-sided contract. Where's the clause that says if
LNDD screws up the chain of custody that they owe the rider a year of
the lab's profit? Or if McQ is accused of strong-arming the lab for
desired results that he is suspended for 2 years?

Or if Pound deliberately leaks lab results he pays the rider a year of his
salary?

Morning had broken. I found a rather battered tube of Araldite

If ANYONE leaks lab results he hacks up a years pay AND gets suspended for 2
years from lab work (or whatever) and another 2 years from pro sports lab work.
Let's see if French and EU labor laws would tolerate that.

And then, after they've served their two-year suspension, they're
banned for another two years from working in a lab where ProTour
riders' samples are tested. ;)

Well, geez, what choice does he have? He wants to ride the Tour (guess
he's still on the bubble, though), so he's got to sign the thing. He's
got to hope for the best. I hope it doesn't blow up in his (or anybody
else's) face, because I have serious misgivings about the testing
procedures.
