British national road race / Lincoln GP was quality. Hayter could have done the triple but wasn't sure what do with a team mate up the road. Some really excellent rides from youngsters too.

Interesting ethically as the riders almost certainly didn't consent to their samples being used for research and this clearly violates any kind of rule around anonymity because it's very clear who the subjects are.

Doing the research would probably be covered by the source, the police generally do not need your authorization to conduct forensic tests.

Releasing the results of that research is much more questionable. You could argue there is a public interest aspect, but they could easily have just stated they were samples from "professional sportspeople" or w/e and passed along the full details to WADA to deal with. It also tells people who are using it to start looking for new doping opportunities because this window might be about to close.
