- Who is the main author? Sottas is listed first.
- Sottas and Saugy work for the University of Lausanne, not WADA -- why not call it the Lausanne study, like the WADA-commissioned survey study is called the Tuebingen study?
1) Traditionally the first author is the one who did most of the work, and the main (principal) author - normally the boss of the first is listed last, as in this case. (Less common is to sort by group, e.g. first all authors of affiliation 1, then all of affiliation 2, etc. As you can see, this is not the case here.)
2) I didn't call it Lausanne study, because Saugy and his co-workers listed Swiss Laboratory for Doping Analyses, Epalinges, Switzerland, as their affiliation, not the University of Lausanne.
Here, Saugy is best known as (previous) director of this WADA lab.
For example this here has been discussed a number of times on letsrun:
