Free Floyd Landis
A seemingly well informed blog about the Floyd Landis situation has popped up. From the “about” section:
My understanding of the underlying issues goes beyond the mere anecdotal. I’ve worked professionally as a researcher in gene toxicology at the NIEHS and later helped start two organizations in the US federal government that evaluate governmental test method standards both in the US and internationally. Let’s just say I’m accustomed the the bureaucratic influences involved in setting standards like the ones used for detecting drug use in pro athletes. I have been first-hand witness to a phenomenon worse than groupthink: political machinations, dictated by greed, deliberately undermining the quality of well-researched test standards.
