SWMBO was in a squad for one of the Olympics ('96 ?) and the lists of what you couldn't take were huge, and notification had to be made prior to anything even remotely being suspect used, etc, etc.
She was called in for a random, out of comp test too.

Maybe the solution for future TDF is to make all the riders (and officials) sleep in one big room - what the Germans would call a "matrazenlager". Plenty of them throughout the alps...
