Daily Telegraph (Aus/News Corp == Fox) says Australian Olympic Committee chair and CAS Vice President John Coates is irked about the Thorpe leaks. He denies it came from CAS as suggested earlier, and he suspects "a European lab" with knowledge of the tests. The lab is not named, so conjectural leaps that this might be LNDD are unsupported. Expect more about this to become revealed over time. How a European lab would get knowledge of tests that we assume were performed by the Sydney lab is also unexplained. Would FINA have passed results on for consideration by a local lab? The FINA HQ is in Lausanne, which would suggest Dr. Saugy's lab in the same city.
