Athlete Test History
You'll find a grand total of 22 tests (in and out of competition) administered year-round by USADA (his national ADA) since 2001.

2001 - 2
2002 - 1
2003 - 1
2004 - 5
2005 - 3
2006 - Retired
2007 - Retired
2008 - 3
2009 - 6
2010 - 1
Since that accounts for most of his TdF years, and the average is 3 tests per year, I'll give you another 24 for 1993 through 2000 (pre-EPO testing, pre-passport). That only leaves 454 unaccounted for spread over those Tours and maybe another 21 racing days each year for most of post-cancer years....

brroyer said:So now our country has decided to spend millions trying to prove what the French could not. This is an insult to the US cycling community and an overstatement of authority by the FDA. Novitsky is simply looking for headlines and a job promotion though I would hope this witch hunt comes back to bite him.
dbrower said:Plus one or two (urine and blood) for every day in yellow in any event, that adds up for him - 83 for the tour, plus others. So that gets him to at about half the claim.

brianf7 said:These tests around $200 each time so why waste the money.
let him off and if he goes better then test him at random.
If you are being tested that often it not random testing they wont catch anyone.
WADA have too much money to waste no need to test that much it just stupid.
It is event organisers who have to pay up for testing so many now going under because of lack of sponsorship
sartain said:LA has shown himself to be a lier and cheat throughout his carrier. If you are married and hanging out at strip clubs, is that cheating?
Unless he has documented proof of 500 tests, it's all part of his PR spin machine (CS&E + PSI) and nothing more.
