dumbass,

autologous blood transfusions and epo injections won't be detected by
DNA samples.

fuentes was busted by the spanish police, NOT WADA. WADA, the UCI and
other ADAs don't have access to the puerto blood. the only reason
there was a match made (ullrich) was because there was a criminal case
against him, and it was done by the german cops, not an ADA.

even if WADA strongly suspects that an athlete is doping, they are
powerless to do anything about it unless the athlete tests positive
(under the current WADA code).

a DNA sample (like the GPS chip idea discussed here a while ago) is
totally ****ing useless for catching dopers.
