  1. Bodily transformation. From CyclingNews:

    Calle said that she had had headaches before the race, and took some
    paracetamol and some "neosaldina", which according to her doctor did not
    contain any banned substances. "We think that one of these products
    transformed itself in my body, and this resulted in the positive test," she
    said, adding that she will now undergo a series of tests at the Bogota
    anti-doping laboratory to try to show her innocence.

  2. Not actually such a new defense. Remember when Tammy Thomas argued that her
    positive was due to conversion of a "morning after" contraceptive? The
    arguments are specious from a biochemical point of view. I suspect that the
    plan is more to cause confusion among those not familiar with biochemistry.
    An argument that there was contamination of the product with a banned agent
    might be more reasonable. Neosaldina is a product sold to treat migraine so
    it is actually quite believable that it might contain a banned stimulant,
    either intentionally and off label or as a contaminant. Paracetamol is, for
    Americans, acetaminophen or Tylenol. Certainly not metabolized to a banned
    stimulant and probably less likely to be contaminated.

    I wasn't aware of that. Of course, that raises another interesting
    question.

    Well, you don't need balls to do that. Of course, not having any does
    make the morning after pill a rather moot point, doesn't it?
