Oooooooooh, no no no no no.
Don't fall for the DNA hype. DNA has almost zero use in anti-doping. The only time its useful is in things like Puerto for identifying blood. And seeing as in the history of the sport there has been the grand total of 1 case when identifying blood bags might be desirable, well, you get the picture.
The UCI make a big song and dance about it because it sounds high tech and impressive (IMO) but it's of limited use.
The CSC regime is as good as you're going to get I suspect.
so what exactly is it???0 -

It's not looking for substances or methods, but changes in blood and hormonal levels which would indicate manipulation.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Why is he such a poor climber? he's clearly got plenty of power, is he really heavy or something or does he have an apalling technique?pm0

Because climbing is about power to weight, whereas speed on the flat is about power/drag resistance (the frontal area of a rider is a reasonable comparison). Anyway, after todays stage who said he can't climb....although I still think its artificially "enhanced" allegedly.0
