Panic stations, I've been tested!

Well this would be a difficult situation. You are selected for the Olympics and just don't want to let go of the dream. You have taken some EPO and know you'll get caught if the vampires actually test you, but you just haven't been tested lately - if at all. You expect attention will be on the favourites, not on little ol' you anyway. And then you get called to testing. Sometimes a doper just doesn't turn up, and gets in trouble anyway. And sometimes they get away with it. And sometimes they don't.

Moreno, better known as Maribel Moreno, had been entered for the women's road race and individual time trial and tested positive for the endurance-boosting EPO drug. IOC spokesperson Giselle Davies said Moreno was tested on July 31 and left the city on the same evening. The IOC officially took control of drugs testing on July 27.

Maribel appears to have panicked and broke down in tears after the testing - but before the result. I guess we can understand why. But do we blame her, or her supplier? Or the system?
