"A South Korean cloning pioneer has admitted fabricating results in key 
stem cell research, a colleague claims.

At least nine of 11 stem cell colonies used in a landmark research paper by 
Dr Hwang Woo-suk were faked, said Roh Sung-il, who collaborated on the paper.

Dr Hwang has agreed to ask the US journal Science to withdraw his paper on 
stem cell cloning, Mr Roh said."

What a damned shame.
