But that is the standard they use, if there is any doubt they don't accept the lab test results. That means, a lot of riders are doping, but not getting caught. Astana and Bruyneel are doping, Astana got caught, Bruyneel hasn't yet. The EPO standard is 50% hematocrit, so riders still take EPO, but not too much so they don't exceed the 50%. Just because they don't test positive, does not mean the riders are not doping. It only means they are not being caught.
tambourlain said:No, most doping charges don't involve criminal charges. What I'm saying is that the cycling federations, the race organizers, WADA, and the UCI all have an official definition of doping. Under that definition Bruyneel's team has no positives. So are the race organizers going to conform to their own standards and do things in a professional manner, or are they going to make decisions based upon rumor, innuendo and hearsay.
