DirtyWorks said:Thanks for posting this. We'll put this one next to the last anti-doping test that dramatically improved catching cheats and actually ended up with no additional sanctions.
Not sure what you are trying to say? Mocking me for posting?
DirtyWorks said:Just to make it clear, there isn't a 100% accurate test.
-true positive
-false postive
-false negative
-true negative
-"Suspicious" (presence of doping artifacts, but not alot. Not a positive.)
Of course. What they said was that 100% of the people they intentionally doped has been tested positive with this test. Hence the ability to detect transfusion is effective.
DirtyWorks said:Best case scenario, you have to give WADA some time to ratify the test and labs to acquire and be trained for the test. Doping will be dialed back by the sophisticated doper during this time because all of WADA's proceedings are public. Later on, will any anti-doping authorities pay for the new test??
Does anyone know how much will the test cost?
No idea. As far who will pay for the specific test (I assume this is what you are asking since the article states that WADA is at least co-funding this project) it should be like any other test. I don't know who pays for all the EPO-tests during the Tour but the ones who are will probably pay for these new tests if they decide to use them.
