The tests were carried out at the GlaxoSmithKline Human Performance Lab in London in August, since when the Kenyan-born cyclist is understood to have obtained the results of tests carried out when he first joined the UCI’s World Cycling Centre as a young rider out of Africa in 2007.

Can someone translate this into English?
Chris felt he wanted to do the physiological testing and of course the important thing about that was that it was going to be independently done. They did it with the GSK guys. I know the [GSK] guys from the EIS [English Institute of Sport], they’re a good bunch of guys.

Add an "also" and it makes perfect sense. : "have also obtained" (but the meaning seems obvious even without that)

No it doesn't. It infers he obtained from UCI results of his 2007 tests, nothing more, Maybe he had them, but the geeks wouldn't accept his copies and wanted them direct from UCI (as any sensible auditor would do). Maybe he was shown them in 2007 but never given copies. How you can infer he never had sight of the 2007 test results is beyond me - they've been spoken about often enough.

Amazing. Can't read but can read an inference like that into the article.

I think the 'when' is a typo. I think it should read..... 'since then, the kenyan born cyclist is understood to also have obtained....'

Independent of the team. Froome has already said this, distancing Sky from the decision to do it.
