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?

Yes, in the sense that once an ADRV is determined, quantity is not a mitigating factor. Contador was banned over a vanishing small concentration of clenbuterol.

I think he means the inverse.
I.e is the penalty increased if it's considered an excessive infringement
