From a NY Times article about Team Slipstream:

“It’s an absolute severe pain for us to do, but I’ll do anything to keep from being lumped with the guys accused of cheating,” said Danny Pate, 27, a former under-23 world champion and one of Slipstream’s top riders. “I’ll give DNA. I’ll post all of my information on the Internet. I’ll do anything to help save the sport.”

Am I wrong, I thought DNA tells you who you are and what you are made of. Don't they have to perform other specialized tests to find out what drugs you have in your chemical make up. I don't think DNA contains this post-conceivement information. What up?
