> The allegations first came to light in 2012 after an Ikea insider leaked emails between the company and a security company to the satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné. Such matters seem to usually come to light, not because the authorities investigated and uncovered, but because an insider talked. A similar situation is with most performance enhancement scandals in professional sports. Lance Armstrong was not caught due to testing; he was caught because one of his men talked. As far as I know, the same drugs he used still do not show up on tests, so others are probably still using them.
