Quoted message said:MagillaGorilla said:It depends what procedures weren't followed. Some are minor, and others
are major. Keep in mind that for any given WADA test, there's probably
200 procedures that have to be followed. Making a mistake on 1 or 2 of
them doesn't necessarily mean the entire test mujst be invalidated.
The fact that the tests are complicated, and complicated enough to
require "interpretation" (not to mention that "positive reader" thing
again) is a huge strike against them IMHO. Interpret the results, then
interpret the significance of errors if found? How many years does that
take? While an athlete (usually only cyclists, of course!) is kept from
plying his trade?

You're so glib with the evidence the Spanish Guard found, which was a
lot more than how you misrepresented it. They found coolers of blood,
dopehead. Who do you think those bags belong to? Nobody?
Athletes are not suspended prior to their CAS hearings. Landis isn't
suspended right now from racing. He has chosen not to race. And teams
have chosen not to hire him. Why do you make it sound like WADA has
done this to him?
As far as Basso's dog's name goes, I have no problem with such evidence.
It's a valid investigatory technique that has been proven effective -
i.e. Museuuw's "wasps" and Vadebroken's dog drop story show that
athletes use codenames and drop stories.
In fact, thhe biggest drop story in use by pro cyclists is claiming to
have asthma just so they can use the bronchodilator albuterol.
Thanks,
