    Very specific statement, thanks! I would compel riders to provide documentation of their time at altitude (or in a tent). The whereabouts system is already in place for real altitude. Heck I don't think any fan would complain if you just banned tents, so while that may not theoretically stop...

    This is kind of a vague statement. All we need is one or two of them to be inconsistent with altitude. I don't know enough about the details to comment, my only point is that ABP seems to be more sensitive than the "adverse analytical finding" tests, so at what point does it make sense to...

    Uh, it seems like they're saying the excel spreadsheet (or whatever) where the test results are archived is "simple and inexpensive" to use. So once you have already collected the data (test results), modern tech makes it easy to collate and track. Of course the cost of many tests over many...
