There is an interesting two part article on the WADA
and USADA in yesterday's and today's LA Times.

Part I: PRESUMED GUILTY

Part II: PRESUMED GUILTY
Athletes see doping case appeals as futile exercise

The arbitration system is flawed, with a tilt toward
accusers. Accidental and trivial cases result in harsh
penalties.
