Then top scientists for NASA changed their minds, thereby creating impossible conditions (i.e. "we already agreed what would constitute significant evidence for finding life on Mars, and that evidence was found, but now we think that evidence is insufficient").
Gilbert Levin, who designed the experiment specific to this, was furious. At the 10th anniversary Viking probes party he is said to have stood up and given a speech outlining all the possible reasons why the experiment could have returned a false positive, and then went about proving that none of them could have contaminated his results. He was not invited to future events.
Don't take my word for it though, listen to the man himself:
