You are also assuming someone had the motivation, means, and foresight to be waiting on the side of a hill for him.
This is bike racing.
The only sabotage theory I find plausible is that a lab worker broke protocol, matched his vials, and put a drop of roids in before it was tested. But this is even too far out there for Landis' defense team. Considering the stuff they have come up with, thats saying something.
Was that application point specified because it is where it is most effective or simply where it is least conspicuous?
