No B Sample Needed For Tyler
It appears that some people are quite certain that the new blood doping test
is relaible. More and more, it looks like Tyler and his attorney are blowing a lot of smoke. From CyclingNews today: However, it may be that the Russian and Australian case won't rely on such a precedent. "We are going to argue on different grounds," AOC media relations manager Mike Tancred told Cyclingnews. "Our in-house counsel, Simon Rofe, has been speaking to medical experts to understand the scientific basis of the test and if the B sample is actually necessary." ASDA's Winnette, while stressing that he was speculating, said that it may be that there is no need for a B sample in the blood doping test. "With urine [tests], an A and B sample is good to have because there can be degradation that leads to a false positive," said Winnette. "But this new test may only need one sample." Another historical reason for the use of two samples is to prevent cases of mistaken identity, but a blood sample can be DNA-tested to establish its bona fides, so again the need for a B sample to establish a doping case may be lessened. -- How strange when an illusion dies, it's as though you've lost a child.--Judy Garland |
