gillan1969 said:Who is responsible for out of competition testing? National federations? i.e. who would test Froome in South Africa?

He has done so for the last three seasons. Trains on his own or with Porte with no Sky support.
This used be a haunt for the likes of Mo Farah and other distance runners.
More info is needed on why he goes all the way to SA.

Netserk said:IIRC The OOC test that Horner 'missed' just after the Vuelta was not done by USADA, but by the Spanish agency as he was in Spain at that moment. So wouldn't that mean that UKAD would decide when he should be tested, but the actual test would be done by the SA agency?
Ferminal said:UKAD don't really have any obligation to do anything. UCI will always order tests though and their average seems to be about once every 4-6 weeks.
I've thought about the location/isolation thing for a while and don't think there is much to it. The labs can be reached in time. The bigger problem is that once you're tested you're never tested again for weeks (not that it matters if the high retics post-withdrawal theory is incorrect).
