dumbass,
that site implies that the ACE is employed by sponsors to ensure that
the team it sponsors will not ne involved in a doping scandal.
so i imagine that if the ACE caught a doper it would intervene before
it became an official doping violation -- which is probably what
happened to hontchar.
but the bigger question is why would a sponsor want to even be
involved in a sport where there was a need for a service like this ?
