(Jacques de Ceaurriz is the head of the anti-doping lab)

I just translated parts in french, but it's too late to do the same for
rbr now. So in short :
The guy sounds *very* sure of himself. He says the reexamination were
asked for by wada, that his lab did not know the names, that the tests
were completed a few days ago, that l'Equipe's job seems solid to him.
He says DNA tests should be feasible on the remaining samples if
necessary (for a tribunal for instance). For 80 remaining 1999 samples,
12 were positive. For 98, it were 40 positives out of 70.
I can't resist to translate the last questions/answers :
Q : Have contacted a lawyer ?
A : We employ some for difficult cases.
Q : Like this one ?
A : But this is not a difficult case. There is no ambiguity and the
facts are very clear. We have had much more difficult times here, like
before the soccer world cup of 98, when we had discovered nandrolon in
samples of french and other players.
Q : So you are used to deal with deception ?
A : Yes, but in this case it seems that these results are not usable for
the current sportive jurisdiction.
Cheers,
