Goddamm, you're stupid.

Ya, dirty athletes who get away with it say that because that's also
what clean athletes say.

Do they ever save sample for events? It would great if they could go back
and look at samples against what they know now.

USADA doesn't want samples to be saved because they don't want athlete's having enough
blood/urine to run their own independent lab tests if they test positive. This way, when
someone tests positive and wants an independent test, USADA can just say, "There's nothing left
of the sample."

It's a real subtle way of eliminating serious legal challenges and guarantees a slam-dunk
victory every time since USADA knows the athlete can never oppose a test result with their own.
