Clinic Speculative thread: what will happen in 2011?

[TubularBills]

Alberto Contador Velasco, elegantly and with unprecedented panache, sidesteps ridiculous doping allegations and wins all three Grand Tours in 2011, CLEAN.

stated and humbly submitted with egg on my face and with thanks to Altitude!

Then all test +? This is the clinic speculation thread aka make up the most ridiculous doping related story you can think of thread. See all above posts ^^

in hindsight, this could be a positive trend? ...in that, you and other clinic residents, may agree that these guys might be clean! Yeah! The start of a new era? ...Ahhh and Argh... too soon to tell, but perhaps a spark of hope.

Of the three, I would lean towards Sagan failing a test in 2011?

Though, isn't he working with Saiz? - of Evans, and Basso (clean) comeback fame?

Perhaps we will see movement by WADA in 2011 to better define maximum allowable traces of banned substances. With the cost of testing foods, and the world market that allows for less regulation of products we find in those foods, the ability to control what we ingest is beyond difficult. Also with more sensitive tests and procedures, much debate will ensue in regards to WADA wording of therapeutic use versus background noise within tests triggering positives. Perhaps at that point, certain positive A sample results get tossed as logic overrules, and the likelihood of true performance enhancing doping is not seen based on ultra sensitive procedures.

Way too optimistic
