  1. If an athlete claims to have a naturally high count of a certain substance like testosterone, hematocrit level, etc., why cant that be simply proven or compared to by the previous drug tests they have had whether it is a in-competition or out-of-competition. Does WADA keep any of those records, like in a data base so that one can determine that there is a naturally high occurrence of a certain substance. They were able to come up with the 50% hematocrit level rule, I guess through all the tests, data & knowledge they have collected over the years.

    Its like every time when you go to your doctor for a examination, he keeps those records, I'm sure the next time you go back and a number seems a little off, he goes back through your previous records to see what those numbers normally were.

    Floyd won this year Paris-Nice, Tour of California & the Tour of Georgia, I'm sure he was drug tested at those races & probably was tested other times, so if those records were kept they could go back and say, yes this X substance has been at or within this level the whole year or past few years. Who knows how many times these top guys were tested, this past year & previous years, should have a pretty good idea where their numbers usually are.

    Does this seem plausible?

  2. The "elite" cyclists will notify the powers that be about ANYTHING that might be possibly construed as doping etc.

    The oldest trick in the book is to attribute fantastic genetic traits to mask modern "doping".

    This "veins larger than normal", "lungs with abnormal efficiency", "testosterone levels of a mountain goat", are utter [censored].

    Floid Landis got caught runnin' the junk, folks.
