The CAS hearing has provided new, relevant, and significant information.
I have just released the second edition of The Wiki Defense.
You can download it at no charge from:

http://arniebakercyc.../books/wiki.htm
There are more than 100 new pages. The book is now about 440 pages.
Here is a synopsis of my opinions:

They Lied
· There is evidence of scientific misconduct/malfeasance.
· Vanishing acts: Records have disappeared.
· Magical appearances: Documents appear to have been fabricated.
· False statements: USADA, its experts, and the lab appear to have repeatedly made false statements.

My opinion and belief is based on more than two dozen apparently fraudulent/fabricated documents and frankly-false statements.
I document the evidence, comparing the at-issue LNDD/USADA statement or document side-by-side with the proof of fraud, false, or self-contradictory statement.

They Botched the Test in the First Place
The report is so full of errors that other conclusions are impossible. Among dozens of examples:

· Sample numbers are wrong.
· The chain of custody is flawed.
· Quality control standards failed, and the failures were ignored.
· Files have been overwritten/erased.

They Never Even Identified Testosterone Properly
Two types of tests performed: The T/E (testosterone/epitestosterone) ratio test and the IRMS test.

· Testosterone peaks were not identified according to minimum standards in the T/E ratio test. The AAA panel threw out this test.
· Since the AAA hearing, the lab has admitted that it no Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or validation study for peak identification in the IRMS test.

My involvement has been pro bono. The book is free. The source documents are also available on my website.
There are more than 700 references, 200 figures, and 50 tables in the book.

Again, you can download the book at no charge from:

I'm reading it right now - the highlighted portions are pretty interesting, to say the least. Has anyone from the other side posted an equally compelling argument for the persecution?

Both the Landis & USADA closing briefs are available for download at TBV.

Oh dear Lord.

Oh dear Lord.

Good catch. Funny how the fingers sometimes reveal what the brain is actually thinking.

Arguably then, your own argument for the successful prosecution is more emotional then it is cerebral, since you don't care to educate yourself.

Arnie Baker is an ethical, upstanding man, and I won't have you or anyone else trash his good name through implied vitriol.

Read it - it's free. You don't have to support anyone before, during, or after, but you might actually find something that interests you. THEN, you could e-mail him and ask him for a response. He does that, you know.

My own argument?

As for educating myself, I think the record is pretty good on that count.

Where did I trash Arnie's name? I have even bought some of his presentations from his site. ... you know, educating myself.

Arnie is a liar

Why is it that 6 years ago he was comfortable telling me that Floyd saw lots of doping in Europe...yet resorts to the Col Klink, " I see nothing" defense when his boy is caught?

I don't know if he is a liar but he is at least pathetic... as a pro of coaching... he should know that all the top riders ( Floyd included) were producing abnormal performances.

After witnessing the information manipulation that Baker undertook in his original presentations, I don't think calling him a liar is an outragous statement.

Funny - just dipping into all this, ORG just sounds earnest and naive: can't imagine a good American boy lying... he needs to stand back from the "science" and look at motivation and context.....
