Thanks again.

I'm sorry but any reasonable person can read the articles provided on this thread an see the difference between them. I trust the word of Travis Tygart (chief exec of the USADA) more than that of obviously bias journalist Kevin Riley (your first article) and some article on new, experimental testing by some company called Ceres Nanosciences (your second).

Travis Tygart: "I think that it's fair to say that there are several, very potent, performance enhancing drugs that only blood can detect, and there is an entirely different method of detecting broader categories of drug use through parameter testing that is done with the blood."

Thanks

Travis Tygart on Ceres Nanosciences: "We are cautiously optimistic," said Travis Tygart, CEO of USADA, the independent organization responsible for testing Olympic-bound American athletes. "They have developed an outstanding technology. And we're looking forward to helping them develop it further so it can have a practical use in anti-doping efforts."USADA will help fund further study of urine test for HGH - USATODAY.com

Caroline K. Hatton, PhD, former Associate Director of the Olympic Analytical Laboratory of the University of California at Los Angeles, in a Aug. 2007 Pediatric Clinics of North America article titled "Beyond Sports-Doping Headlines: The Science of Laboratory Tests for Performance-Enhancing Drugs," offered the following:

"Testing urine is better than testing blood for most prohibited substances (small molecules, molecular weight less than ~800 atomic mass units). Urine collection is noninvasive and yields a large volume of sample, with higher drug concentrations than in blood and with far fewer cells and proteins to complicate extraction..."Drug Tests Used in Sports - Sports and Drugs - ProCon.org

I trust the experts/scientists than someone of questionable ties.
