French Anti-Doping Agency to review lab procedures

The French Anti-Doping Agency has requested that independent experts review testing procedures carried out on Floyd Landis' doping samples, but said that it was a regularly scheduled review and not related to recent accusations of wrongdoing from the Landis camp.

The review is conducted every six months and examines the lab's software and analysis procedures. Landis and his lawyers have recently accused the lab of mishandling and erasing computer files relating to doping tests carried out during the 2006 Tour de France.
