What happened to the UCI longitudinal profile? Weren't they supposed to create a health profile and look for fluctuations throughout the year? If this was being done (big IF), shouldn't a spike in hematocrit levels among big-name racers prior to important events raise a red flag???

perhaps

the uci is as corrupt as some imply -- thus does not investigate unless the violation is deemed particularly egregious (such as tyler's fluctuations, and the warnings to csc and phonak)

or perhaps

the doctors have the dosage patterns so subtly worked out over the course of a training year that they don't yield large fluctuations in blood levels

cees or someone else with an ear to the inside might know for certain
