If the lab can't, how can L'Equipe?
For them, all they must do is claim to be able to trace it and wow you have a story.
Newspapers on the Continent do NOT have the ethos, American and some British papers have. We complain about our papers here, but those there will print lies, known lies.
You basically can't believe anything controversial printed in Continental papers. I'm not a scholar of all libel laws, but outside of Britain and the US, foreigners basically have no rights.
So don't believe it, just because L'Equipe says it.
