The reason why this whole biological passport thing is fraudulent is because under UCI rules only a positive doping test along with a confirmation of the B test can be used to find an athlete guilty of doping.
dumbass,
the same goes for a DNA test.
a DNA test is not part of the WADA protocol and it can't be used to detect doping so i don't know why bettini was so paranoid about it.
it is also not against the WADA protocol to store bags of your blood in a freezer in madrid.

Any WADA lab is free to run a DNA test on any rider's blood. They don't need anyone's permission. They only reason they don't run DNA is because there's no use for it (exept to compare to blood bags) and you can't get DNA from [censored] (WADA doesn't collect blood).

You can get DNA from urine.
Okay, but it's not a standard DNA test. And when WADA wants to find DNA from a cyclist to match to the Puerto blood bags, they either have to take a buccal swab or blood.
The UCI already has urine from everyone. Why would they need Bettini's signature if they could get it from his urine?
My point was that whatever lab the UCI uses to test for DNA requires blood and not urine. The fact that some cutting edge lab can extract DNA from [censored] doesn't mean that it can be done from a practical (or cost-effective) standpoint.
Retrieving DNA from urine should be routine for even the LNDD. Cutting edge labs can obtain enough DNA to do FISH or bladder cells, which is much more than you need for PCR. I'm not arguing whether you can use markers in urine to positively ID a blood sample, maybe you can and maybe you can't, I was trying to keep you somewhat honest when you asserted that you can't get DNA from urine.
