The whole double drug test thing is pretty simple.
Aug race (Olympic) win IOC event
Sep race (Vuelta TT) win UCI event
Phonak revealed the news that 'A' samples from both events failed.
Both will get a 'B' sample testing. Although only days after the
Vuelta TT win, it is more than a month after the Athens Gold Metal
Heist.
IOC (International Obscene Cartel) says nothing for a whole month.
They only react to Phonak's release. Then, they convieniently trash
their 'B' sample. Some reports say dropped on the floor, other more
reliable sources say the ill-fated 'B' sample had been ruined when it
was frozen. This by a bunch of supposed experts?
So, despite everyone's best effort to bust a cheating stealing thief,
including his own team, the IOC once again proves us that they are in
such a competition with the Ambassadors of the United Nations for the
most bloated good old boys club for the elite who run the show, and
that no scandal will be allowed to happen without their blessing.
That's the BILLION$ talking.
Too bad the poor cousin UCI guys, who have been seen riding their
cruiser bicycles to meetings in a tent in the Swiss country side don't
march to the beat of the same drum. They have bigger worries, as their
poorly thought out Pro Tour debacle will be their undoing, until
someone (they are working on it) creates a new governing body for
international pro cycling.
So a two year UCI ban is now the only option. The UCI shoots
themselves right in the wallet, or I mean, there own feet.
Back to the original question. Based on the fact that the Olympics
hid a result for over a month that takes 2 hours MAX to figure out,
and only acnowledged it after it became news, and then with the whole
world watching, got rid of the 'B' sample very nicely, thank you.
Would this Olympic moment ever been revealed if Tyler skipped the
Vuelta, like he should have?
