I still don't understand what warranted the retesting of a december 2007 sample, which was days before the intro of the passport. If your values were 'irregular' in 2008 or are in 2009, can they use any sample collected over the years, or is there a cut off date?
From what I read, the UCI retested the sample because the passport revealed something fishy. So was the 2007 sample the closest to the time frame in which the 'irregularity' was found? Ie, the passport shows 12 months, and Jan and Feb according to the experts display anomalies, so they used a sample that preceded those months...
But in his case, irregular values were reported mid-june 2008 (right?) leading to a break with RAB, and then they go back to a sample from end 2007...
