How many days til tests are done?

So, how many days til we know if the TdF results stand? How long does it take for the tests to be completed and find out if anyone gets caught for PEDs? I won't really feel like this race is done until then.

Helloooooo? does anyone know this?

Last year Landis tested positive on a test done from Stage 17 (July 20th) and Phonak announced he tested positive on July 27th.

What was the time frame between Vino's positive and the announcement? The day of the time trial, is that correct? I don't recall for sure, but I think it took two days for that to come out.. pretty quick.

It's fixed, delayed, lost, found, whatever.

A better question is: when will the USADA rule on Roid Landis' steroid case??????

90 days late and still counting.

Why don't you stay on topic instead of trying to re-direct it?

Do you, with all your vast knowledge.. know the simple answer to the question? Is it too difficult to respond directly to simple question...or do you just completely miss the question to begin with?

Asked and aswered. Can you not read?????????

Unless you are prepared to bribe ASO and UCI it is ambiguous.

But as the self proclaimed doping authority on this forum you should be able to tell us something like:

- Standard urine testing takes between 36 and 48 hours
- Blood testing for homologous blood transfusions can take anywhere up to ...
- Testing for epo is a longer process and...
- etc. etc.

You are dodging the question house. Try to restrain from talking about how corrupt the system is and just stick toscientific facts about the testing procedures. For a laboratory point of view

We are still waiting eight years for Lance's EPO test results!

Or his cow blood.

I'm not sure he's capable of that, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. It's just hard for me to imagine someone asking me "What color is the sky?" and my response would be something like.. "Did you know about the hole in the ozone?!?" It's a fitting analogy.

Astana announced on July 24th that Vino tested positive for a homologous blood transfusion for the TT stage on July 21st.

The way I see it, if everyone followed the spirit of the rules and kept their mouths shut until a rider declined the testing of a B sample, or a B sample confirmed a positive A sample, it could take as long as 2-3 weeks for the public to learn of a doping case.

But this is pro cycling where the rules are usually bent and results of positive A samples are quickly leaked to L'Equipe and the teams try to get ahead of the media storm by announcing a rider suspension before anything is done with the B sample.

I wonder how long the bookies in Britain wait until they pay off on TDF bets? They're probably the best authority on the subject. 🙄

No doubt! Anyone know about that, btw?
