I hate to start a thread but this will get drowned out in another thread.....

Now that Yoshimura Suzuki has put out their own press release I believe the WADA will pull no punches now. Let's say it was something somewhat bad and the JS7 camp spun it their way, the WADA will most likely over spin it the other way to balance perception back out. Keep in mind, the worse the infraction, the more it validates the existence of the WADA and cements their correlation with another racing circuit for the future.

I can see them coming out in the near future to state some facts.

The WADA can't put much of a "spin" on things because they aren't allowed to say exactly what caused a failed drug test (other than a substance from the banned list).

What's your source on this? I'll admit I haven't looked for myself, I just don't think I've ever heard of it being the case except in the NFL where the players' union keeps it from being disclosed.

I was just always under the impression they couldn't release that personal information, however, the best I can find relates to how it is handled in UK:

If it is decided that the athlete has a case to answer in relation to a possible ADRV then a “Notice of Charge” will be issued to the athlete detailing:

the Adverse Analytical Finding (if applicable)
the ADRV the athlete is charged with committing
a summary of the facts and evidence relied upon in support of such charge
notice of provisional suspension to be imposed on the athlete (if applicable)
the consequences if it is established that the athlete has committed the ADRV charged
the athlete’s right to promptly request the analysis of the B-sample (if applicable)
The athlete can choose to accept the charges and the consequences specified in the Notice of Charge. In these circumstances, an agreed Issued Decision will be published on the UKAD website. Alternatively, if the athlete wishes to dispute the charges, he or she can elect to have the B-sample analysed (if applicable) and request a hearing to determine the charges and the appropriate consequences.

It appears all that relates to the pre-appeal procedures, not necessarily what info will be released to the public.

It seems I always remember the failed tests at the Tour de France saying exactly what was used. They're run by WADA too.

People have been saying HIPAA laws will keep them from disclosing what it is. These laws have no such bounds over drug testing agencies
