- Oh dear. If you know when checks will be, you adapt your schedule. Hopefully they learnt from the Armstrong era, and replaced anyone suspected of sending out warnings.Jumpyjohn20-07-2026
- Exactly. Sweating and urinating are the fastest mechanisms for something in blood and those take 1-4 hrs. So check at 10pm and again check at 6 am. Its easy to catchabstractengineer20-07-2026

- The tour organizers screw up again. It was a fast part of the course, a sudden turn. No warning. Only the first few riders would have been able to know it was coming . At this point I believe they want crashes to happencaptmike20-07-2026

KerisVroom20-07-2026 - I think, like with most other institutions, you’ll find the total costs outweigh the fine. Apart from US lawsuits, corrupt inofficial authorities and maybe Swiss speeding fines to the very rich, it’s usually the general population or if there is a victim, them, that pays the real price, the punishment is mostly arbitrary and the whole implementation often costs more than the fine. This will be especially true if the judge is Swiss with a Swiss salary, swiss paperwork to write up and Swiss rights to contest to have to deal with. It’s actually a no-brainier, 2-3 500 fines a day doesn’t even cover the hours.Mistermaumau20-07-2026
- Yeah, but we’re definitely not all the same there.Mistermaumau20-07-2026
- And why would good reasons be made public so easily or before findings lead to conclusions? People would go apeshyt if controllers started to release statements why they are turning up at 2am. With their knowledge of past practices, it is hardly unexpected this happens from time to time and sorry, it’s been a real long time since it happened, it’s also been a REAL long time since anyone of interest was caught, that is increasing pressure to be seen to be actually checking. Typical doping checks have been so integrated into the routines that people have probably forgotten they exist, new spectators might not even realise they have them.Mistermaumau20-07-2026
