I know this is not business related but the recent Tour De France winner Floyd Landis was trying to justify that he did not take any drugs when he won the Tour De France. The lab conducting Landis' B sample result said that Landis had traces of synthetic testosterone, which is not allowed.
What made me particular pick this was that Landis was acting like a employee who worked for a major company when he said "When they asked us originally to test it, first of all, we said no. It's already been tested, and it's been negative. There's no purpose in testing exactly the same samples a second time." quote taken from http://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news;_ylt=AgRZW5RgZs3g4nerOA_BksR.grcF?slug=ap-landis-doping&prov=ap&type=lgns
Is the world cycling just targeting Americans because they really do not want them to have the title? Seven time champion Lance Armstrong was tested numerous times before they finally succumbed to him. All the samples they took from him were negative so they did not have any hard evidence to convict him of cheating. Even though I am sure that they are still trying to get him because they do not want him to have the title. That was a great feat of seven titles and in a row from 1999 to 2005.
When can companies or organizations just give it up that the employee or athlete are not taking drugs but are acting on their own will and skill. For them to test a person that much it seems like it is a personal vendetta.
