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.

I'd guess it's for recovery and injury management. Suppressing things like Bernal's back problems, aiding the physiotherapy for muscle damage mid-tour.

Looking it up, it might also be useful for temporarily decreasing bowel motility. They could have been using it to counter the squits.

I can't decide if:
they want smaller squads (only count the top 10 riders from a team) and also want those riders to go to every race possible (1.1 one day races being worth more than a TdF stage) or
they want teams to be even larger and more specialised (absolutely stack your GC train and gently caress everything else in the tours, final position is the only thing of value, points for the doms are irrelevant as they won't be in your 10 top-scorers) with the breakaway riders being sent elsewhere (more efficient to send your potential stage winners off to ride 10 smaller races instead).

Probably people who've done a lot of reading about recovery rates of athletes when you stick a few pins or plates in, dope them to the gills and give them sustained and personalised physiotherapy.

Knowing how long your elite athlete will be out of action is worth money.

It's pretty amazing that he was conscious when they got him to the hospital. Broken vertebrae, smashed leg, collapsed lung, but not out cold. Helmet did some work.
