There are a lot of unanswered questions and Armitstead's statement so far doesn't really clear much up.
We don't know if she'd already appealed the missed test from last August and it's possible that the appeal against that was ongoing when she missed the others. Whichever way you look at it, to miss two tests is unprofessional, to get to the position where you've missed three is career threatening and idiotic on the part of the athlete.
Of course, this lack of information hasn't stopped the usual 'experts' from finding her guilty of doping immediately.
