Might "invalid" in that context mean something like "oops, the lab cocked up something"? I don't think a passport reading can be "AAF" in itself can it?

no ones even interested or even surprised.I always have a good laugh at durianrider and his opinion that everyones on the juice but im beginning to think he could be right. Its not the level of drug offence but the level of the rider that counts.

Translation might be a bit awry, but he said as much when asked a similar question on Twitter earlier.

But that's exactly what Siutsou's passport says, although in English, for his most recent one which presumably resulted in the AAF - Invalid.

If the AAF was for EPO (as reported) then that wouldn't be a valid or invalid passport outcome, that would surely be a blood outcome? Difficult to comment when none of us are on ADAMS of course!

They dont get tested too often do they?

Obv some re targetted as more likely but he is barely troubled.

...not neccessarily. Depends how close the tests were. It was an OOC test so maybe not the highest priority..?

(Maybe the most recent was INVALID because they they'd already got 'im!!! )

Did 15 tests in 17 months appear "barely troubled" to you? That actually seemed reasonably frequent to me, given how often we are told drug testing regimes are under-resourced. I'd expected a stock member of the peloton to be tested about 4 times a year tbh.
