Surprised no one has commented on it. Any idea on what they were testing for, and can you test for blood doping?

From what I understand they are testing for rec drugs and nothing else. Yes you can test for most blood doping.

They test for everything on the WADA list. It includes recreational drugs, steroids, stimulants, hormones, peptide hormones, anything that can be construed to provide a performance advantage or safety disadvantage. They can test urine or blood or both.

In the most recent tests, it was urine samples.

Instead of urine or blood tests they should try hair testing. There's no standing in front of a 2 way mirror or taking blood samples, just pull a strand of hair and have it tested. There's Noo way to cheat the test and some toxins can remain for over a year. I know from experience

I got tested at 2 nationals. The first time I got tested was at Washougal in 2004. It was, if I remember right, just for rec drugs. It was ironic also that the only ones to get tested were privateers.

Outdoors isn't FIM. It's AMA. Here's its rule:

Appendix B
AMA Pro Racing Substance Abuse Policy
The safety and integrity of professional motorcycle racing are of paramount concern to AMA Pro Racing. Substance abuse is fundamentally inconsistent with safety and with the integrity of motorcycle sport. Accordingly, AMA Pro Racing has established a Substance Abuse Policy, which is a supplement to AMA Pro Racing’s Rules for Competition and which is binding upon all riders, in the same manner and to the same extent as AMA Pro Racing Rules for Competition. Persons applying for any AMA Pro Racing license must agree to the following:
“I recognize the importance of maintaining the safety and integrity of professional motorcycle racing. Accordingly, I agree to strictly comply with AMA Pro Racing’s Rules for Professional Competition and AMA Pro Racing’s Substance Abuse Policy. I understand that my agreement to comply with the Substance Abuse Policy is an essential precondition to the issuance of a professional license and that I must abide by the Substance Abuse Policy and submit to such testing procedures as may be conducted from time to time at the sole discretion of AMA Pro Racing as a condition of continued licensure. I further understand that any violation of the Substance Abuse Policy, or failure or refusal to submit to testing and honestly participate in any testing procedure, will result in immediate disciplinary action which may include the suspension of my AMA Pro Racing competition license and the denial of my privilege to participate in any AMA Pro Racing sanctioned events.”
All licensed riders are provided a copy of the AMA Pro Racing Substance Abuse Policy with the issuance of their rider license.

This is REALLY funny.

Most, if not all privateers don't exactly have alot of disposable income, let alone $$ for PEDS or drugs.

PB&J sammiches seem to be only affordable PED a privateer can afford these days

Last time I was at a GP then there was also a doping control. One of the riders there entourage told me then that they wore a bit irritated that they still where testing the urine and not blood! Because in urine you can't find everything and in blood you can! Bye the way those guys where trying to pee for 2 hours!
