More damning Tyler stuff

From Velonews.com today:

Pound has frequently argued that the test results from the Vuelta underscore
the positive from Athens.
"He got to keep his medal, but somewhere in that whole process, they get the
word out that he needs to be tested at the Vuelta... and that test showed
the same stuff as did the A sample from Athens," he said. "So yes, yes his
medal is tainted. He doesn't deserve to have a gold medal. The tests show
that. As I said, he dodged a bullet."

Pound's position was echoed by IOC president Jacques Rogge.

Rogge told the Reuters news service on Monday that he regretted the
"technicality" that allowed Hamilton to keep his gold medal.

"The stupidity of a lab employee made it impossible to punish the American,
but it does not question the validity of the test," Rogge said. "Nobody will
regard him as the time trial Olympic champion in Athens."

"More" was quantitative, not qualitative.

The UCI worned TH way before the Velta or the Olympics. He had a chance
to go away quietly. Now he's a joke. End of story

dumbass,

that is another thing TH has been silent on. where is the early warning
rumour from ? depending on your take, it makes him look more or less
guilty.

IIRC, that was revealed by the head of the UCI medical commission.

He then tells us that the technician who performed the tests, didn't
find a
positive and then FOLLOWED PROCEDURE, was "stupid". Personally I think
that
the technician should file a law suit against Pound for slander.

Tom, in what way is the scientific validity "unproven"?

In the article published in 'Transfusion Medicine' about it, 25 people
were tested. There were 22 true positives and 3 true negatives. The
three were found not to have received any recent transfusions.

The test has been done on many hundreds (at least). Just because their
results aren't published doesn't mean they are not available to the
people that need to know about them.

This type of FACS testing has also been around a long time and is very
accurate and very scientifically valid.

Even without false tests, that leaves the occurrence of false positives
much more uncertain than false negatives.
