OK, seriously dumb question time. We've read that the Spanish lab doing the
testing for the Operation Puerto affair refuses to do more work until
they're paid the $25k Euro owed to them by, apparently, the Spanish
government.

Just $25k Euro is holding everything up??? You've got to be kidding. We're
all in limbo-land for just $25k Euro?

Why wouldn't l'Equipe, in the interest of justice and a juicy doping story,
finance the testing themselves?

But, of course, it's all about publicity, and this isn't the right time to
spring something like that. Wait until bad news would have a much more
dramatic effect.

Nobody else picked up on the story?

Then there is the 200 K FIFA gave them to keep shtum.
Instead of air cooling his gums, Paddy McQuart should
ante up as well.
