Tour de Farce?

News continues to trickle out on the Landis story.  The lab that conducted the test has "leaked" the existence of allegedly synthetic testosterone in Landis' "A" sample.  What do I think of this news?  Frankly, I'm torn.  On the one hand, I'm disheartened to think that Floyd might have cheated; if he did, he robbed us all of the greatest day in TDF history.  On the other hand, this leak comes from the same lab that allegedly found traces of EPO 7 year old blood samples from Lance Armstrong, conducting the tests in the most scientifically questionable ways possible (not to mention with no oversight whatsoever).

So who do you believe?  Call it North American bias, but until a Untied States body tests him positive (or at least a non-french, le equipe-leaking lab), I'm going to remain skeptical.
