Here’s A Story of A False Positive

in Doping in Sports, Floyd Landis

For everyone who thinks that the doping labs never get things wrong: There’s an interesting story posted on Trust But Verify of an equestrian who had a false positive carbon isotope ratio test — twice. I’m puzzled as to why they were testing the rider, and not the horse. Seems to me that they should be more concerned about doping the horse.

Apparently the CIR test that some would believe convicts Floyd Landis is fallible. Who’d’a thunk it?
