Are you aware of any other studies that discuss techniques & strategies in blood doping that can circumvent the current ABP?

No. My concern is the ABP is not being utilized to anywhere near its potential.

Can you further elaborate? Are you talking about the UCI looking the other way at flagged passports & not pursuing any action?

Maybe that. But also that it cost more money to secure a ban. Lawyers have pushed the margin of what would constitute guilt too far IMO. I am a numbers man but if an expert tells me a certain pattern in the rider’s blood scores are 99% certain of illegal blood manipulation that’s good enough for me. Lawyers might argue otherwise.

But the other issue was the accuracy of the passport software. Someone posted an Ashenden paper from Feb 2020 here last week. How could the passport software miss that? If you can have false negatives you can also have false positives. A lawyer will jump all over that to cast doubt.
