So a week and a bit and we'll get some "no starts"?

    Many of which will be proven to be false positives?

    Since the passport is based on longitudinal analysis involving many discrete tests, the risks of a "false positive" are much diminished. I don't expect the lawyers of the first riders nabbed will accept that, but I guess that's their job.
