If the evidence presented thus far does not convince you that the testing procedures used to evaluate the Floyd Landis' urine samples were so seriously flawed that they should be excluded as evidence, read further. The testimony by Dr. Davis, a PhD in mass spectrometry, who was instrumental in designing the IsoPrime mass spectrometer being used in these tests and author of the users' manual for the instrument, should put the final nail in the coffin. Quite simply, there was nobody at the hearings who knew the IsoPrime mass spectrometer, which was used to test Landis' samples, better than Dr. Davis .

To summarize Dr. Davis' testimony, the installation of the mass spectrometer was improper and the technicians didn't know how to run the equipment. As a result, the accuracy of the instrument was suspect from the beginning of operation.

The drug testing system is broken. I suggest that we don't open ourselves up to it.
