while i will admit to not being the biggest lance fan ever, and also to
thinking that the afld is getting a bit silly, i ALSO think that taking a
shower while someone claiming to be a tester is at your door was STUPID,
even if they said it was ok, and even if you arent sure theyre a doping
official. lance and johan ought to have known better. sure, you might want
to verify that the claimed doping officlal is in fact a doping official,
but DONT LEAVE HIS SIGHT, because you should KNOW that leaving the
presence of a doping official during an out-of-competition test will be a
violation if in fact this seemingly random french guy turns out to
actually be a doping official. which he did. WHOOPS.

the french set a stupid trap. lance was dumb enough to fall for it. what
surprises me is that johan let him take that shower. both of them should
be smart enough to be on the alert for this kind of thing at this point.
while i dont agree with the aflds actions here, im also not falling for
any playing the victim that lance is doing.
