they have VERY lax drug testing standards....and in a related note, quite often a russian wins the race.
hmmm. odd.
Let me tell you how drug testing works, my dear ignorant LR idiot. Race organizers don´t set "drug testing standards", nor do they execute the tests. Drug testing is done by national or international sports federations or Wada. They can test anyone they like, anywhere, at any time and they don´t have to announce the tests before doing them.
