Default A few riders are going to sweating

Ann Gripper on testing for HGH. I wonder which riders have been targeted.
"There is no test for HGH yet and obviously is of concern," she said. "We are not sure what the prevalence in cycling is. The quicker we can have a validated test, the better it will be for our sport and many others."

Gripper warned riders that the UCI has deep-frozen targeted samples that can be used for eight years.

"Samples that we are particularly interested in, we have required them to be stored," she said.

If they lack the science to test for HGH then how can they be certain as to the efficacy of preservation of HGH within the frozen samples?

There is supposed to be an HGH test that will be ready for the Olympics.

Which members of the men in black did not test positive last year?
