In general they could care less about top pros. In the meeting I was in at USA Cycling where USADA gave a 2-3 hour talk about what they have been doing and what they will be doing there was nothing nefarious about it. Their goal is to test more and more every year. That won't ever change or decrease.

D B-Hall was still there and said, "doping in the US has a face and that is one of a masters racer taking steroids". They were very specific about how they use the tip line, investigate every single tip using detectives who are well versed in weeding out the BS and how they utilize those tips to directly target masters racers who they have very good reason and indication to believe are doping. It's focused testing, on dopers, and it's not going away.
