Here's an interesting bit to it
Of course no-one should relax just yet. Numerous conversations I've had over the past 24 hours indicate that the testing programme undertaken by the French government anti-doping agency (AFLD) in the weeks leading up to this race has been anything but watertight. Yesterday I asked Garmin Chipotle manager Jonathan Vaughters how many AFLD tests his riders had faced before arriving in Brest earlier this week, and, with admirable frankness, Vaughters admitted that the answer was "zero". Stapleton said that Kirchen had certainly been tested, but said that the AFLD's protocol for locating riders was "twenty years behind" the ADAMS system employed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
