Far be it for me to defend UKAD, especially when it comes to Athletics, but the point they make is absolutely correct; any request to retest samples has to follow due process as laid out in the rules of the sport. To do otherwise completely undermines the anti-doping process.

Like every single time a cyclist has an A sample positive and their name is revealed before the B sample test. Literally every time.. French AD = French newspapers?
Yeah fair enough if that's the case, might be selective quoting in the article which implies otherwise.
You'd hope from what they no know about Salazar that they'd be able to be quite targeted in any retesting, and have some feel for whether testing has improved enough now.
Move along, nothing to see here...
