He's alleging there were multiple issues with the processing of the sample and the related leaks to the press (nothing was supposed to go out until the B sample was confirmed).
For me, the jury is still out on this. One positive sample for testosterone doesn't seem to make a lot of sense medically, but at this point I frankly assume all pro riders are doping or have doped, pretty much without exception.
Sad, but true. The further up the food chain I go with racing, the more jaded I get.
