Couple things for you, punk boy:
1) How is waiting until he left the crematorium really any differennt
than doing it quickly and getting over considering it was the whole
grief angle you are really pushing with the crematorium thing anyway,
and not the fact that he is in the middle of doing "something."
2) The dope couriers don't have all day to wait and have other athletes
to test, other things to do such as mail the samle. So waiting 2 hours
is not an option. If the courier had to wait 2-3 hours (or more) for
each athlete, they would never get their job done.
3) Let's say the dope tester showed up at 2 p.m . and Van Impe told him
to wait to 5 p.m....but the courier declined because waiting would mean
the urine sample would not make it out in time for next day arrival with
overnnight shipping, thus compromising the integrity of the sample for
testing. Do you think the courier wants to be the center of attention
in a doping case where the athlete is alleging his positive urine test
was due to contamination for sitting at room temperature for 24 hours
instead of being shipped overnight delivery? (i.e. an argument which
Jeanson asserted in her case, alleging her EPO positive was caused by
bacterial contamination due to a lack of refrigeration during
transportation)
Listen to me. WADA already thought of these things which is why they
have hav the policy they do and tell their couriers they will be fired
if they allow the athlete to delay the collection of the sample for even
10 minutes.
4) If you allow riders to delay testing, they can take masking agents,
IV infusions, or water to dilute their urine, or get ahold of some other
test-defeating method or substance (i.e. laundry detergent which
interferes with the EPO test). That's why once the courier makes eye
contact with the athlete, they are never suppose to let them out of
their sight until the sample is collected, let alone "come back in 2 hours."

So I applaud the courier who followed the rules. The courier was not
even responsible for picking Van Impe for OOC testing nor the day he was
to be tested.
But obviously you are too goddamn stupid to think of these sound reasons
because you, like most of the idiots in here, are only capable of
thinking like someone with a 900 SAT score would think.
Think before you post.
