Quality (or, really the lack of) in drug testing

Interesting article on drug testing in the current issue of Wired Magazine.

“The US system for testing drugs for safety and efficacy relies on a network of contractors running clinical trials that adhere to strict guidelines. One lab owner broke all the rules, choosing profits over protocols, until someone tipped off the feds.”

Surely this can’t be the only instance bad drug testing, and I wouldn’t doubt if something similar occurred with Finasteride testing, but unfortunately no one tipped anyone off.
