...exception of a crisis here or there for a few weeks. The entire world ends up being a loser for that. The essential problem is that networks have found they can send a reporter to a place like Congo, but it's dangerous and expensive and doesn't get good ratings. If they throw a Republican and a Democrat in a room together to yell at each other, it's cheap and entertaining. We have to fight for the resources to get out and report so we can add things to the pot, not just stir...

"Scientifically, there is no problem analyzing these samples - everything is correct," Bordry argued in 2005. "If [a retest] had been clean, it would have been very good for him. But he doesn't want to do it, and that's his problem." Landis would be wise to steer clear of France for awhile. His battle with Bordry and the French is no longer about doping in sports but about violating French...
