Ist in den PB Artikel ganz Anfang des Sache schön beschrieben:
"Here are the basics of how it goes down. Once the AFLD's WADA-accredited laboratory has tested the samples and an adverse analytical finding (AAF) is returned, the athlete must be notified according to code 3.4.3 in the WADA's own guidelines. The athlete can also request an analysis of the B sample (code 7.3) to happen within seven days of the A sample's examination. Both Rude and Graves declined the right to have their B sample tested, opting to accept the results of the initial test instead.
If there is a "non-negative" test result, the AFLD (in this case) will ask the athlete to deliver a satisfactory explanation. If the athlete can't deliver adequate justification, they'll be provisionally suspended. Rude and Graves' positive tests were for specified substances, which apparently allowed them to avoid provisional suspension through the remained of the 2018 Enduro World Series season.
It's at this point that sanctions will be recommended by WADA, and code 10.13 in the guidelines says that ''
A mandatory part of each sanction shall include automatic publication...'' And that ''
The following information shall be made public by the [Results Management Agency] within 20 days from the decision date: Athlete or other person’s name; sport; anti-doping rule violated and the prohibited substance or prohibited method involved, if applicable; the consequences (sanction).''"

Für mich klingt das ähnlich wie bei Froome, ne Nummer kleiner eben. Solange der Fall nicht abgeschlossen ist, will niemand Rude den Start verweigern, da er freigesprochen werden und dann Forderungen stellen könnte. Dass man aus Imagegründen gerne Gras über die Sache wachseln liesse und auf einen positiven (...) Ausgang hofft, ist wohl ein Nebeneffekt. MMn ist das Hauptproblem in beiden Fällen, dass die Zeit, die der Athlet hat, um seine Erklärung abzugeben und bis darüber entschieden wird, nicht genau spezifiziert hat. So kann ein Athlet das quasi as infinitum hinziehen und munter starten.
