There is a newpaper story circulating this morning about the report of an investigation into the 1999 doping allegations against Lance Armstrong. The AP version says:
"The International Cycling Union appointed Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman last October to investigate the handling of urine tests from the 1999 Tour by the French national anti-doping laboratory, known by its French acronym LNDD.
"Vrijman said Wednesday his report 'exonerates Lance Armstrong completely with respect to alleged use of doping in the 1999 Tour de France.'
"The report also said the UCI had not damaged Armstrong by releasing doping control forms to the French newspaper.
"The report said WADA and the LNDD may have 'behaved in ways that are completely inconsistent with the rules and regulations of international anti-doping control testing,' and may also have been against the law."
Anyone know if the report itself is posted anywhere yet?

I sympathize with that point of view. I expect a lot of people don't care. I find I do, however. In case anyone else is interested, the full report can now be found at this URL:
