Forget about all the old, retired dopers for a moment.
Could USADA warn off the likes of Tejay and some of the other young, "new generation" brainiacs from showing up?
January 20/14 11:32 am - Sebastian Salas Suspended for 2 Years
Posted by Editor on 01/20/14
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Sebastian Salas, a cycling athlete, has received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. The violation, Tampering with Doping Control, occurred during in-competition testing on July 10, 2013. [Note: This was the day of the Gastown GP]
In response to the CCES’ notification of the violation, Mr. Salas fully explored his rights under the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) and eventually chose to admit the doping control violation, waive his right to a hearing, and accept a two-year sanction ending August 1, 2015. The athlete, who resides in Vancouver, British Columbia,
is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the CADP, including training with teammates.

This was a fairly recent communication from an ADA, so as I interpret this communication and relate it to the TGV situation, Lance should not be training with USAC athletes like TJV, and the opposite, TVG should be avoiding working with a banned athlete as a coach or training partner. I just read an article from another sport case and coaches cant be banned for taking a PED, but if they have in posession, distribute, traffick PED's they can be banned. So with the USADA RD

USADA:''Mr. Armstrong has received a lifetime period of ineligibility for his numerous anti-doping rule violations, including his involvement in trafficking and administering doping products to others.
A lifetime period of ineligibility as described in the Code prevents Mr. Armstrong from participating in any activity (eg training/coaching?) or competition organized by any signatory to the Code or any member of any signatory (TJV).''
I'd guess TJV absolutely should be given a public warning/one strike by USADA.
