Interesting. Is the lawyer right about it not being technically legal? Anyone knows what the rules say about what the UCI can and can't do with their samples?Johnny Rotten said:I love how Contadors Lawyer says in the artical,
“Alberto does not know that the test was done,” Rodríguez added, “and it was not legal to take his blood to test for this.”
I would think AC and others should be a lil woried if indeed thsi test is used and proves some facts.
Now on with the Lifetime Bans.

Dope reporting is the new Facebook.

Alpe d'Huez said:As I recall CERA was tested for and validated the same way. WADA quickly caught up and deemed everything acceptable, as it is indeed well within the code and rules once the tests are known valid.
I'm ready for full retroactive testing for this. Cheating is cheating. Let's punish them as best as we can.
rolfrae said:This part of the article should have the rest of this year's Tour podium a little worried:
"Scientists are probably using the new test on other riders’ blood samples. Antidoping experts would most likely want to compare Contador’s levels of the plasticizer with those of his peers before moving forward with any charges, said two people with knowledge of the case."
thehog said:I like Alberto but I get the feeling they knabbed him on the transfusion test during it's testing phase. The Clen positive was the only way they could legally get him. This will go to CAS and by that point the tranfusion test will be valid. He's gone. Shame. Super super nice guy.
thehog said:They need to test the 2009 samples. Which would mean Lance wins 8!

Benotti69 said:one of the problems i have with cycling is that the rider's get done and the riders need to address that. they are putting their heads on the block. It needs to change, teams need to be sanctioned if 3 or more riders test positive in a calendar year. DS need to be banned. team doctors need to be banned, why just the riders?
