1.) It's the International Testing Agency, and
2.) Most of this is likely confidential until either things close without a finding, or there's an announcement of a violation of some type.
3.) This could be a long while.

I posted a few links in the other thread if you want to learn about ITA's documented processes.

Also, I don't think the ITA has a celebrity figurehead like USADA. I'm not anti-Tygert, but I think it's good to not have celebrity anti-doping heroes. It should be mostly about the processes. Not about hardnosed, bulldog investigators. I'm glad they exist, but they're best behind the scenes, and following the processes to the letter.

I think that's fair. However I also think this is a case where we aren't talking about hot urine but rather some kind of rat. That means witnesses and backroom deals. It means a structure where even friends (Hincapie for example) cannot not turn on their fellows due to the legal/ prosecutorial chips at play

Did we need a separate thread for this? The other thread seems like a perfectly good place to discuss all this

Sorry, it just seemed to be devolving into name calling. You are correct. Please let thread die or delete accordingly

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Wait…now you can spell out what ITA stands for?

And without anyone even asking…cray cray
