Report exonerates Armstrong

It's so fitting that Vrijman "leaked" his report to the press before
the ICU and WADA had a chance to quash his opinion in politics and
bureaucracy.

There is a newpaper story circulating this morning about the report of an
investigation into the 1999 doping allegations against Lance Armstrong.
The AP version says:

"The International Cycling Union appointed Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman last
October to investigate the handling of urine tests from the 1999 Tour by
the French national anti-doping laboratory, known by its French acronym
LNDD.

"Vrijman said Wednesday his report 'exonerates Lance Armstrong completely
with respect to alleged use of doping in the 1999 Tour de France.'

"The report also said the UCI had not damaged Armstrong by releasing
doping control forms to the French newspaper.

"The report said WADA and the LNDD may have 'behaved in ways that are
completely inconsistent with the rules and regulations of international
anti-doping control testing,' and may also have been against the law."

Anyone know if the report itself is posted anywhere yet?

Both cnn.com and foxnews.com have lengthy stories on this report, which
I read yesterday.

I sympathize with that point of view. I expect a lot of people don't
care. I find I do, however. In case anyone else is interested, the full
report can now be found at this URL:

It is in English.

Why should he cast pearls before swine?
