He needs to explain why his sample was any number over 1000, it doesn't matter if it's 1001 or 10000.
I think the point that @GoatandTricycle is making though is that Froome isn't trying to explain away an extra 0.1%, he had double the permitted amount in his piss.
Easier to explain away a smaller excess surely but yeah, same punishment if he can't.
And actually, would it be the same punishment? The anti-doping authority wouldn't alter the sanction based on the amount of excess?
