World Anti-Doping Agency president Dick Pound defended the French lab whose credibility is under scrutiny for its handling of Floyd Landis' samples during the Tour de France.

Pound said Wednesday the case against the American cyclist should not be derailed by the theft of data from the lab by computer hackers and by a mistake in the labeling of his backup urine specimen.

"For me, the real problem is the activities of several hackers who entered into the system without permission, possibly against the law," Pound said in a conference call. "We have to wait for the result of the investigation. For the specific (Landis) case, there will be a hearing in January. The arbitrators will consider all the evidence."

Tour de France winner Floyd Landis's efforts to clear his name got a small boost Wednesday when officials at France's national anti-doping laboratory admitted making an "insignificant" numbering error on a urine sample that later tested positive for testosterone.

However the director of the IOC-accredited laboratory at Châtenay-Malabry said the "typing error" had no bearing on the finding of unusual testosterone/epitestosterone ratios in both A and B samples taken after Landis's epic victory in Stage 17 of the Tour.

Since learning of the positive test Landis has consistently maintained his innocence in the affair and is basing his defense ahead of an anticipated ban from the sport on what he believes are errors on the part of the French lab.
