I red the piece above,
very clever piece to cover such a hot trail.
The team manager explained the 6 times less hormone concentration by a too early test, what about the others done within an hour?
Does this hormone vary so wildly usually along the day?
When is a good time?
The people running the tests should know of this,
why did they proceeded that way?
Let's try this entirely fictional story:
a team complying to the mpcc rules did not register ,
2 of its riders failed tests.
All the teams know about the results of the rider's test,
the rider still started the race,
the other teams complained.
The mpcc is run by all the big hitters in the industry,
they would loose face,
they made a few phone calls
"You're making us look bad, you're attracting attention,etc"
possibly in a Marlon Brando's impression.
Racer retires after 20k.
Manager explains to the sponsors, "it's them".
