Giro 2011

That's what annoys me.

He probably has shown some odd blood values, **but that is before the fact that he's had his spleen removed has been take into account. **
There are any number of factors why blood values might appear dodgy, but until those factors have been presented alongside the incidents of fluctuation, then that list is almost meaningless.

Whoever leaked it wants a jolly good sacking, with a large dose of prosecution.

And a slap.

If you read what I've said, you'll find I'm assuming a grand total of fuck all, mate.

I don't think Thomas is clean - I'd like to think he is, but I've no evidence of that, just as this list doesn't prove one fucking way or another if any of these riders have doped.

My point is, without all the information relevant to the blood values, this list is pretty close to meaningless and should be disregarded.

Ooooh - keep your hair on!

I've highlighted the statement in your original post that strikes me as being a major assumption, we have no idea what the removal of a spleen does to blood values.

As to purpose of the list, it was intended to ensure targeted testing of those riders the UCI thought to be most suspicious based on biological passport data and other intelligence. We can infer very little from it but can assume that the UCI believe Thomas is worthy of closer scrutiny.
