So in other words, it doesn't matter what you are using. Any measurement that exceeds a baseline threshold will get you suspended or fired from the team - first offense. No bullsh1t.

One would think that it shouldn't be that difficult to institute a similar procedure in horse racing, at least for performance-enhancing drugs.
