    Yes. Perhaps they could build a pot each season to entice whistleblowers. That has always been the way to catch the cheats.

    I feel like WADA does exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do. It actually provides a fence to protect doping athletes and this was prevalent in the article “I conform to WADA standards….”, “I have never failed a WADA test…” etc.

    The program confirmed what I thought about blood passports. That it is a sticking plaster on an arterial wound. It is interesting talking with my colleagues at work and I think they must think I’m a bit potty about doping. But faced with the facts in that documentary and they still have a suspension of disbelief about doping in pro sport.

    We had whistle blowers, we had evidence, we had a test (also done in France which Wada at the time dismissed but not now). We know micro dosing takes places in cycling the CRIC report said so.
