Just suppose you bet large money six months ago (or a year ago) on a lot
of Tour outsiders. Then you bought 200 bags of pigs blood from a local
abattoir, and labelled them with names which could be taken to be the
names of likely winners of the tour. Then you publicised the fact that
you were running a blood doping clinic in such a way that the police
were bound to hear of it... I mean, I can't believe just keeping 200
bags of blood is a criminal offence. Sticking labels on 200 bags of
blood isn't a criminal offence. Sticking labels which don't actually
have anyone's real name on them can't be a criminal offence. So you get
all the top contenders kicked out of the Tour, clean up on your bets on
the outsiders, and then turn round to the police and say 'now what
exactly is your case?'

At this point we don't actually /know/ that there's any cyclists' blood
in any of the bags...

No, damnit, I'm clutching at straws here.

Here's a quick fix, run a DNA test on the bags, that can't take more
than a few hours right, WTF hasn't this been done ?
