Armstrong exonerated...

....at least for now, the witch-hunt is over. From JS Online:
"The ICU appointed Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman last October to investigate the handling of the urine tests by the French national anti-doping laboratory. Vrijman said Wednesday his report 'exonerates Lance Armstrong completely with respect to alleged use of doping in the 1999 Tour de France.'"
But of coarse, it's not good enough for the "hunters":

"It's clearly everything we feared. There was no interest in determining whether the samples Armstrong provided were positive or not," he told The Associated Press by telephone from Montreal.

"Whether the samples were positive or not, I don't know how a Dutch lawyer with no expertise came to a conclusion that one of the leading laboratories in the world messed up on the analysis. To say Armstrong is totally exonerated seems strange," Pound said.
