Re:
Again you have no understanding how the passport works. Its about longitude values, not one off tests. The UCI (CADF) does not open a passport case until its satisfied there is liner line showing a significant drop or rise in blood parameters.
Lets start again. Heano was tested OOC, the value was of concern, why? Because Sky knew the previous passport test just like with JTL would register an issue once he came back down to sea level and was tested again at TA. Of course the UCI didn't see a one off anomaly at altitude, why? Because the passport doesn't look at one test in the passport. Also because Sky withdrew him from racing and sent him straight back to altitude. Sky knew what was coming next if he was tested at TA (sea level), his values would have been too high and a case would have been opened.
Then his agent (accidently?) dropped the story as Sky were trying to circumvent the passport by sending him back to altitude in Colombia. Why? Because when tested at altitude since returning form sea level the first test back is noted on the passport is at a lesser sensitivity.
The natives/report story was used only to cover off what the agent had said. Otherwise no one would know. All that would have occurred was Heano was withdrawn from racing due to "injury".
Do you get it now?
Here's some help:

Since Heano came back and has been subject to more testing he has tripped the wire because his values were too high and then too low just like JTL.

samhocking said:And i'll repeat. For Sky or Henao's agent to know there are anomalies in his passport from October 2013 and Jan 2014 out of competition blood tests in early March 2014, UCI has already analysed and not seen any anomalies. I guess they could forward the passport data to a team before it's been analysed, but not sure what the benefits would be even if you wanted to hide information or protect a team. You just need to hide the information and protect the team, why share information that doesn't yet need to be shared?

As a reminder the bio passport is a record of an athlete’s hematological parameters. A variety of measures are taken when a rider is tested and these are all logged into a database and over time a “longitudinal profile” is established. Unlike the binary positive or negative of toxicology testing where a lab tests for banned substances, the passport looks at changes in levels, using logic and mathematics, for example Bayesian statistics, to look for anomalies.

On altitude:
In response, passport analysts use a complicated formula to account for altitude, the athlete’s genetic background, and other environmental factors when parsing passport data. But given the risk of false positives, the analysis is made deliberately insensitive. The current standard is a 1-in1,000 sensitivity, meaning the passport will only result in a false positive in 1 out of 1,000 analyses (over a series of samples, that means the risk of false positive becomes very, very low) but it will also yield many false negatives
