THANK YOU GOD
I remind you Martial Saugy himself said that 80% of the peloton is on blood transfusions and growth hormone and that this last one is the drug of choice right now.
EDIT:
this is from last november
Lab director alleges blood doping at Tour
The director of the WADA-accredited Swiss Laboratory for Analysis of Doping in Lausanne, Switzerland, has told Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws that he believed there was still widespread doping in the Tour de France this year. "47 out of 189 riders raced on blood transfusions or EPO," Martial Saugy alleged. "We have been able to show this from the samples taken at the health controls."
Still, Saugy added that these test results did not fulfil the requirements to be declared as 'positive'. "It is appalling, but we find so many test results that undoubtedly point to manipulation," he continued. "But there is a big difference between a suspicious sample and one that can be declared positive."
Saugy also found indications for the use of testosterone and growth hormone. "Especially the latter product is very popular at the moment," he added. "As soon as there will be a water-proof test for growth hormone, it will show that 80 percent [of the peloton] is taking it. I am disillusioned: the use of growth hormone is as bad as was the use of EPO and blood doping in the 90's."

Also that story caused Isso to use capitals, which is a rare occurance, so he must be happy. But this could be very important for catching dopers not just in Cycling, but in the sporting world as a whole. The fact that WADA is saying that it appears it will be a viable test within six months is important as well, as it means this isn't the sort of thing we'll be waiting for years to become useable |

They should have kept it quiet, then released it secretly to catch a bucket load of dopers in many sports.
Oh well, it'll now just catch out the dumber ones

Cancellara stays with CSC for three years
"Kraftværket fra Rostock, en stor bastant trampende tysker, en torpedo, der skydes gennem luftrummet, en bombe af kraft, pløjer nærmest asfalten op, benene går som store stempler på den tyske maskine, en rullende bismarcksklump."

The worst part is that it's not just one rider. Henri Abadie retired 5 years before Abdou. And neither of them ever rode for CA

A former festina doctor (forget his name) says that apart from the performance of the Schlecks and of Goubert being extremely suspicious, Cancellara's performance is "impossible without doping".

That must be the best dope on the market then

About the HGH test, who really cares? When it's detectable, they just move on to other, non-detectable products. |

I think they have some way to manipulate hematocrit readings. You can take all the dope in the world, but nothing comes close to a high hematocrit!
That being said, I think it's absolutely nice if the tests get more simple. Only focusing on the elite won't bring us anywhere. The dope culture starts in the lower categories! |
