See my point 1 earlier. This isn't CSI where a big machine flashes guilty. The tests are technically difficult and prone to error. That is why there are specific procedures to follow.
It is not disputed that procedures were not followed. What is in dispute is whether the results of the tests are unreliable because of that.
The presumption of most of the people posting is that the tests are accurate and infallible. The machine goes ping and you win a suspension. It is not like that.
Which makes you wonder why they have the procedures, if they can choose to ignore the fact that they have not followed them.
The whole point is that you have a rigorously defined technique, and you follow it to the letter, then no one can argue with the results (or not very easily anyway).
Ho hum, I'm glad it's not my problem.
I do wonder about andygates question earlier:
Are we starting a sweepstake on who's going to get kicked out for gobbling down the Astana beans this year?
For the last couple of years watching Le Tour, I've thought "At least this year it'll be clean", which has then been followed by multiple people being kicked out. Certainly not all of them have been clean, just due to the numbers, and the fact that some of them have never disputed things. Depressing n'est pas? Maybe this year will pass with nothing much happening.
