  1. From CN:
    "You want that the testing will be 100% accurate. You don't want to end up
    paying a year's salary [out of error]. You sign this document hoping that
    they act in good faith because I am acting in good faith, but you never
    know and I just hope for the best."

    He may have difficulty passing an IQ test if he really believes the UCI or
    WADA act in good faith.

    Street smarts makes for good road sense.

  4. Well, geez, what choice does he have? He wants to ride the Tour (guess
    he's still on the bubble, though), so he's got to sign the thing. He's
    got to hope for the best. I hope it doesn't blow up in his (or anybody
    else's) face, because I have serious misgivings about the testing
    procedures.

    This does reek of a one-sided contract. Where's the clause that says if
    LNDD screws up the chain of custody that they owe the rider a year of
    the lab's profit? Or if McQ is accused of strong-arming the lab for
    desired results that he is suspended for 2 years?

    Morning had broken. I found a rather battered tube of Araldite
    resin in the bottom of the toolbag.

    If ANYONE leaks lab results he hacks up a years pay AND gets suspended for 2
    years from lab work (or whatever) and another 2 years from pro sports lab work.
    Let's see if French and EU labor laws would tolerate that.

    I'd be more biblical and go for the pound of Pound's flesh.

    No, I'm not quoting Shylock and I know what I'm thinking, thank you
    very much. Biblical has more than one definition - look it up. If I
    said I am going to go medieval on your ass, would you read that to
    mean that I was going to take your ass back in time, or simply beat
    the [censored] out of you?

    Pardon me, I clearly have /no/ idea what you were thinking when you
    wrote "biblical." That's after taking your advice and looking it up.
    Please enlighten me.

    Think King Solomon. Harsh yet effective judgments. That sort of
    thing.

    I wrote biblical for a reason. If I'd written Biblical, I would have
    meant something different.

    BTW, if you really want to, there's a nifong load more to criticize
    about my musings then my choice of words.

    And then, after they've served their two-year suspension, they're
    banned for another two years from working in a lab where ProTour
    riders' samples are tested. 😉
