"It was set up on November 10, 1999 in Lausanne, Switzerland" Hmmmm..... 1999 - and a positive test in 2001.
As per the earlier UCI press release, all adverse findings are reported to the UCI, WADA, and the IOC. The WADA accredited lab (which apparently accredidation includes facilitating bribes) does not know who tests positive and simply passes on the findings, who are matched to the code --- by other agencies.
So please tell me which lab is analyzing the tests from the ToS and fiding a positive for someone they don't know and then passing it along ..... and not say, "Wait a minute here!" Now.
Race Radio said:You do realize that the UCI did not sign the WADA code until August 2001, right? they were the last Fed to do so.
Until the UCI signed the code WADA had nothing to do with testing of professional riders.
What is your goal? Are you here just to show that Armstrong's groupies know nothing about the sport?

I am asking you to make a case that relies on some sort of objectivity, as opposed to the, "my opponent in a ***" model.
Saying Verbruggen was the UCI President in 2001, WOW, does not show us the feasibility of how someone would make a bribe that would cause a positive test to completely disappear.
"Well, we don't need standards! (But the retards you disagree with us do)", is not much a discussion.
And a simple fact from dealing with anti-corruption issues, the more people involved, the more agencies involved, the less likely it is for corruption to make something just go away.
Corruption works best when there is a single approving official, like a licensing office in government or a judge in a single case. It rarely, if ever, worls when multiple agencies are involved.
Quite frankly, of all the charges Flyod made, this one is the least likely to be true.
gree0232 said:OK, how does that equate to being able to quash a soping positive?
WADA, under **** Pound, releases positives in 2005, but having an actual positive they won't? Because everyone is corrupt.
Let me show you something slick, as someone who has been to those places like Afghanistan, you may want to check out the corruption index.
http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/gcb/2009
You may want to check out page 7 of the first link to see how the EU rates verses the places you compare it to.
Now lets be clear, I have worked with Italian Carabineri, French Gendarmie, German Police, and I have had to have a functional relationship with many of the EU's judicial systems as we have partnered to bring a system to places like .... Afghanistan!!! :clap:
So, in 1999 the French realize that doping is happening in a big way after the Festina Affair and have been making steady progress toward combating it. And two years later, Lance tests positive in a race just days before the TdF and the whole system is so corrupt that the entire thing is swept under the rug? You do see the French police out there arresting riders and busting up doping rings right?
And this is of course after Marco Pantani bust the hemo. level, and this massive corrupt system nailed Marco to the wall .... but not Lance. Why?
What is wrong with this?
" Between 2001 and 2003, only the Paris, Lausanne, Cologne, Barcelona and Madrid laboratories, commissioned by the UCI, detected the presence of EPO in the samples that had been entrusted to them for analysis. During this period, the first laboratory carried out three positive analyses for EPO, the second 18 and the three last laboratories one each. None of the samples concerned had been taken at the 2001 Tour of Switzerland.
The International Olympic Committee received a copy of all the reports for the positive analyses mentioned above. Furthermore, in 2001, all the analysis reports carried out at the Tour of Switzerland were sent to Swiss Olympic.
Since 1st January 2004, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) receives a copy of any analysis reports which show an abnormal result. WADA has not reported any abnormal analyses from any of its accredited laboratories that have not been duly dealt with by the UCI."
Please tell me how that system allows for six positives that year, but manages to misplace one?
Make a case that does not rely on speculative conspiracy and broad but undefinied corruption please.
Please explain to us all why we should put more stock in generally undefined claims of corruption then I should in the UCI information release, and the other agencies easy ability to dispute that information?
