Armstrong and Landis Innocent?

I haven't been paying attention to the cyclying scene for about a week, so this is old news, but I had to comment on it.

It seems that Frankie Andreu, former lieutenant for Team Discovery (then Team Postal)has admited to using EPO during the 1999 Tour. He also stated that he never saw Lance Armstrong doping.

Last year, Armstrong was accused of using EPO during the 1999 tour, based on frozen urine samples that were said to be his.

Now Floyd Landis has been accused of doping.

The connection?

Both Landis' and Armstrong's tests were done by the same lab, who has been found to do sloppy work.

With Andreu admitting to doping during the 99 Tour, it could be saftly assumed that those were his samples that they tested. And since they were the only ones who knew who the samples belonged to, they could easily say that they were Arnmstrong's.

With this latest revelation, plus reports of other errors by the same lab, Landis is as good as cleared.
