Catlin is a lab rat. He is one of the best in that field but does he really get the emerging explorations of bio markers and output? Probably not. He has also supported some rather questionable athletes over the years, giving them his stamp of cleanliness. Often it appears he is swayed by his personal friendships, much the way Damsgaard was.
As for JV. The goal is to win the war, not the battle. Sure, he could have come out with guns blazing a few years ago.....and there would be no Slipstream and he would not be head of the Pro Teams. Often the best strategy is to stay in the game. It is always easier to change the game from the inside rather then on the sidelines tossing rocks and getting smeared.
Ultimately it appears this strategy will have some success. The Feds will take care of Johann, Lance, Weisel, et al. JV will be running the top team in the world, pulling in serious cash based on the "Clean team" marketing and professional structure. Pro Teams copy what works. In the 2000's Johann ran the dopingest, most toxic, team around and made millions off it.....other teams did the same. Now JV is poised to have the top team in the world and that team is not based on needles, doctors, exploitation, and intimidation. This must be of some value to the sport.
