I can't take credit for digging this up, original thread from cyclingnews forum here:http://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=30307&p=1840461#p1840461To collate the links in the thread:Dr. Saugy is the head of the Lausanne Laboratory. and is shown to be someone to count on to cover up doping:-He sat on positive EPO samples from Armstrong:http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/10/news/analysis-what-usadas-case-file-means-to-those-involved_256676-Even told Armstrong and Burynell how to beat the test:“He [Saugy] sat beside me and said there are samples from Lance Armstrong that indicated EPO use. He also told us that he had been instructed by the UCI to meet Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel to explain the EPO testing process,†Tygart said.“I asked him: ‘Did you give Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel the keys to beating the EPO test?’ And he nodded his head yes. He explained it to the two of them. As far as I know, it’s unprecedented. It’s totally inappropriate to bring in an athlete with a suspicious test and explain to them how the EPO test works.â€http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lausanne-laboratory-gave-armstrong-key-to-beating-epo-test-says-tygart/-Head of laboratory which destroyed several of the Russian samples (In addition to Moscow), revealed in the WADA report-...and he consulted the testing lab in Sochi, which WADA has shown to be corrupted:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/athletics/11992813/Athletics-doping-scandal-Shocking-story-of-67-purged-drug-samples.html
Yet, what was found to have taken place at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois et Université de Lausanne was arguably the most shocking disclosure of all.
Chapter 16 of the report describes how its lab last year destroyed 67 samples provided by Russian athletes prior to London 2012, “contrary to specific instructions†given to it by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The purge prevented investigators re-examining the samples following testimony they had been part of a scam in which “positive doping samples had been swapped out for clean onesâ€...
...The lab’s director is Dr Martial Saugy, the man responsible for the unsatisfactory explanation for the samples’ destruction described by the report.
He declined to comment on the commission’s findings when contacted by Inside Sport this week, despite having already disputed them in the Swiss media...
...The report found him to have been present in the drugs-testing lab in Sochi, describing him as a “representative of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation who was not part of the laboratory Games staff or the IOHe consulted the testing lab in Sochi, which WADA has shown to be corrupted:
-And not just cycling or T&F. (from the thread):
An awesome FIFA find here. FIFA athlete tests positive in another WADA certified lab.
FIFA requests Saugy review the documentation package and Saugy finds the documentation, collected under WADA standards, was somehow faulty. This opens the door to Saugy retesting samples in his lab and miraculously finds nothing.

Follow up on the Rio lab angle. All samples from Rio FIFA world cup were flown from Rio to Saugy's lab.

-He was the IAAF guy to test Lagat's B Sample:

- Director of Lausanne lab Martial Saugy tells #WADASymposium whom to test, when to test,and what and how to test.
Despite all of his failings, he is still in charge of Lausanne. Lausanne Lab, remember, is the lab retesting IAAF WC 2007 and 2005 samples, and the IOC is retesting Beijing's samples.
