Lie detector tests is definitely an interesting idea. Although, as far as I'm concerned, they are not accurate enough to be considered a positive doping test.

Exactly! It would be very interesting, but nobody would accept it. I think even if rider is innocent because the test is not 100% sure.

Zero tolerance sounds like bringing "war on drugs" to sports. Hmmm...Has war on drugs been successful when trying to get rid of "street drugs"? I can see athletes who has to take asthma medication being suspended for life...

Health passport on the other hand sounds better idea. No passport covering last 2-3 years no professional lisence.

for some weird reason his idea sounds good.

Cyclist who die like that should be buried on the side of the road, put a marker on top of that just like in the car accidents. "He did not know the difference between sports science and sport science fiction. RIP"
