Yes.
Since there's a pattern with Phonak (not just Tyler, apparently), it seems that there may be something in the team's program creating problems. One possibility is they're taking some drug that creates false positives. Another is they're using autologous doping figuring they won't get caught, and they screwed up somehow here (dirty needles, dirty blood bags, I don't know what else). Third is they're just stupid cheaters and were using transfusions and hoped not to get caught.
