The core problem is that the WADA code restricts disclosure to what the labs wish to give out and has the assumption that the testing authorities do not make errors.When a defense points to problems there is no real method to find out the truth.Thus,what started out as a quick process of justice end up in a mess as the arbitrators have to sift through a big mess.
In the Landis case my guess is that Mc Claren (arbitrator) was fighting to preserve the WADA system he had helped put in place rather than the justice of the case.This dancing on needles is the reason for the delays.
In short,WADA by insisting on summary justice is now the cause of delays as this summary justice gets challenged.Far better to have normal rules of disclosure of evidence in the first place.
