Trust but Verify is still doing bang up work on the mess created by the incompetence of WADA and UCI in regards to the Floyd Landis case. Landis is set to learn the result of his final appeal in June. The problem with the case, as I’ve long maintained, is that the lab work was so shoddy that one is unable to determine if Landis doped. This is the worst possible outcome because one cannot clear Landis and one cannot condemn Landis leaving no sense of justice or finality.
My guess is that the appeal will be denied given the bias against athletes in the process, but that only creates a terribly unsatisfying result for fans.
And worse, Dick Pound no longer heads WADA and that was a fine name to make fun of–and he was a huge incompetent ass so I didn’t feel guilty.
