glad we are clear.
this is the string i was referring to--when you wrote 'me saying i'm late is not an admission of doping' in response to my 'i'm curious if you'll follow through on quitting if delayed an hour'. made me think there was some confusion & you somehow thought i linked you to doping. i wouldn't do that (to anyone).

I've seen my teammate incur his wife's wrath for being late because there was a crash, or traffic, to not want to deal with it. the more times one of us is late for something the more difficult it is to travel to races. at a certain point, particularly when the testing is pointless, it makes more sense to do other things with the time.
