Neutrinos traveling faster than speed of light

Today, I read an article stating that scientists may have found particles traveling faster than the speed of light.  Scientists pumped "neutrinos" (neutral particles that are able to go through matter without being affected by it) from Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy. The particles passed through water, air, and rock; and they traveled 60nanoseconds faster than what the speed of light would have traveled.
Scientists are quite positive of their results, but continue to run tests. If this is confirmed, then Einstein's theory of relativity would be considered invalid.
