I am mixed on how I feel about Valverde refusing to allow his DNA/blood to be tested against the DNA/blood bag from OP: On the one hand... Riders who are innocent and have nothing to hide, should offer their DNA/blood to be tested (like Allen Davis). But, rider who are guilty, seem do everything they can to avoid that truth from coming out(like Ivan Basso). On the other hand... We can see how the testing was done in the Landis Affair (I encourage everyone to read the verdit and dissent). With WADA/LNDD/UCI's history of trampling the riders rights, breaking their own rules, and flat out ignoring known science...I don't blame riders for refusing to allow WADA/LNDD/UCI to manipulate their finding to meet the results they are looking for. I haven't read the entire OP report...but it appears there is enough evidence to at least open an investigation. It seems the Spanish are content to hide the "Smoking Gun" to protect the "Green Bullet". Over time we will see if Valverde can match the potential and the results we saw him produce pre-OP. Why doesn’t Valv want his blood back?
