I agree VBS, what I don't get is in all the drug testing I have been around ( I work in the Airline industry ) for the last 30 years. The original sample is to identify markers like you said. If that triggers postive then a more detailed test is done with not only the first sample but in all cases I have been around they have a second jar they also test. In my experience that second more detailed test will differentiate between poppy seeds and pot, or presriptions that trigger postitive effects and illegal substances. I have been told by medical professionals ( whatever that means ) they can pin down exact drugs, concentrations, times etc.
So if he was taking a legitimate prescription, why wasn't it recorded, where is the Doctors orders, and on and on.
Personally I think most of those guys take stuff, for recovery, injury, pain etc. Like in professionaly cycling. You mentioned Lance, Every top cyclist is using some sort or performance enhancement. I read some statictics that stated if they went through the tour de france riders and disqualified ever rider that had at one time been suspected of doping they would eliminate the top 10 riders for the last 10 years or so. Lances biggest problems was that he is a bully and he is American in a European sport.
And MX, SX rider put their bodies through hell week after week. Some just have better Doctors for masking it than others.
My two cents worth anyway.
