Closing the gap:2008 and beyond
We will continue our high volume in-competitiontest program: 5500 urine 2500 blood
We will increase our out-of-competition testing 2500 urine (increased from 1000 tests in 2007) 4500 blood (increased from 500 tests in 2007)
Testing
12 x Blood 4 x Urine
10 x IC
Haematological profile Steroid profile+
We’ll create biological passports
2 x OOC 4 x IC All withEPO
On-line education module
International drugdata base
Face-to-face sessionswith ProRiders
We’ll provide education
Can we evercatch all the cheats?
We have experience
We have the authority
We have good relationships
We have strong connections to the field
We have the resources
We have the determination
We have the right assets
And most importantly – our partners
