The WADA wants anti doping controls in the middle of the night.
I declare them completely nuts and idiots. This way you'll do exactly what an anti-doping control should not do, make the competition unfair.
How can you expect to be well rested against opponents who had sleep when some teams get night controls and some not? This is actually a way to destroy a competition.

Hope these nutcases don't go through with that
I agree, but on the other hand they have to adapt to doping methods. If guys wake up early in the morning to get transfused and go back to bed after the transfusion is done, controllers should be able to knock at the door at that time too.

Hello, I made the video.
The reason why Cav is not in the video is basically because of tighness of space at compilating the grand tours. Maybe I should have included him, and Greipel, and Gilbert at La Vuelta... but everything is not possible.
But other sprinters are included in the video, winning important classics or semi-classics: Hushovd, Farrar winning Scheldeprijs and Vattenfall, Freire winning MSR and Tours...
However, In other years' compilations I made, Cav is there, winning at the Tour of France.

I hope you liked the video.
Exactly, it's difficult not to include everything and overall it's an excellent review

It's not really about the transfusions.
Most drugs currently in widespread use are used precisely because they're taken during the night and by the time of the early morning doping controls, it's out of the system enough to not trigger a positive.
Most former riders who have told us how doping is done in the peloton have told us that same thing.
