I think it's a bit strange Phonak went out of thier way to make sure they own the same "hematocrit machine" as the UCI.

Yup.

If someone were running tests that could potentially cause
a lot of problems for me, I would do that too. I'll bet
they've all got the same machine as the UCI vampires.

Why? It makes a lot of sense to make sure you can verify the results put
up by the UCI. You would be stupid to go on blind faith that the UCI does
not make mistakes. Esecially when there is a lot of money at stake.

Do you mean in the same way as the Russian Olympic Team had a boat in Seoul
with full testing facilities or the way that many US athletes were pulled
with mystery illness's before the LA Games?

I think the problem here is that WADA - or whatever the geniuses call
themselves - are obviously, blatantly ignorant of the scientific
process. If you cannot, or will not, present your "evidence" for review
and challenge, you don't have scientific evidence at all. You just have
accusations and words.

The claim about their evidence and the process that created it is that
"There is no risk of a false positive and no need to do so called
validation studies." Oh. OK.... Nothing to see here. Move along...

The whole problem with this case against Hamilton is that it looks like
voodoo magic. And it looks like voodoo magic because WADA refuses to
submit their testing procedure to a normal scientific challenge.

I RIDE A TREK, WEAR DISCOVERY CHANNEL CLOTHING, AND SLEEP WITH A WOMAN WHO
LOOKS LIKE MY MOTHER SO I CAN CALIBRATE MY PERFORMANCE AGAINST LANCE.

So you're saying the energy crisis could be solved if WADA was put in
charge of research into cold fusion.

But does the woman who looks like your mother calibrate your performance ?

That is dedication beyond the call of duty.

THAT WAS EASY. WHAT WAS HARD WAS TRAINING MYSELF TO GET A STIFFY WHEN I
SEE HEIN.

Lance's ex-personal assistant can tell you about some **** that
can help with that. It might be on the WADA list though, he's
not sure.

someone give me an understanding...why the hell would a team or any
cyclist own a hematocrit machine if they aren't doping? if you're not
doping your levels will never get to a point that would concern the UCI
or your team. is there some other reason a team would own this machine?

They buy the machines, or engage "their" laboratory, to have
foreknowledge of any possible bad news from independent WADA/UCI type
tests.

And on haemocrit levels, it is not all as cut and dried as as it seems.

My personal levels are consistently 48 or 49 and I do not attempt to
enhance them, reside only 8 floors up in my apartment block and never
sleep in Oxygen Tents.

To make sure you don't go over the banned level of hematocrit from
activities like altitude trainining or sleeping in those hypoxic
chambers. Those things are not doping, but can probably can raise
hematocrit too high for some people. Moreover, measuring hematocrit
might even help understand if those things are working, which is
useful info too.

Very easy to understand. You know your team is going to get tested at some
time. That's a fact. The person/s doing the testing are human and can make
mistakes. So they might screw something up. To catch these inevitable errors
you use your machine to verify the results reported to the UCI. That does not
mean you are doping. It would be very stupid not to have one of the machines
when you have a large team with a large budget.

You then know that there might be a problem with the UCI results.

No idea. But if you tell the UCI that you are using the same machine they are
and that you got different results than they did puts you in a better position
than just saying their results can't be right because you say so. If you are
going to challenge their results it is a good idea to have some facts to back
up the challenge.

Like the men's keirin heat at worlds when everybody thought the derny driver
pulled off a lap too soon and screwd it all up. A review of the videotape
showed that the officials forgot to change the lap board. Then the officials
refused to let anyone else see the video and tried to dump the blame on the
derny driver.
