FFS, Anne.
Particularly troublesome bits:

Right, so the USADA file was erratic wrt Lance 2009/10?Gripper, who managed the UCI's Biological Passport programme until 2010, insisted there was nothing unusual with his blood profile at the time. She believes the Biological Passport has greatly cleaned up cycling.
Please be clear, Anne.

II.
Inference: Contador is indeed considered dirty by the UCI. Great, but if Contador is a blooddoper, and if the passport is such a success, as Anne claims, why wasn't Contador ever caught for a passport violation? Why wasn't a passport case ever opened against him?"The 2011 Tour de France was a bit of a landmark ... the fact that Cadel (Evans) won, that was the cherry on top of the cake,'' she said.
----------
III.
Inference: the lack of a train in 2011 should apparently be taken as an indication of cleanliness. Great, so what does that tell us about 2012, Anne?"But there were all sorts of other things that happened in that Tour ... to indicate a much more level playing field.''
