Do other riders get a half hour to leave the tester before they have to do their drug tests? No. Does Armstrong get to do this? Yes.
Say what you want, but that was a flaw in the system. Nobody ever disputed that the guy showed up alone claiming to be from a lab. Why the heck would a lab send it's own tester? That violates the principle of anonymity completely. You can't just send a guy out to come back saying, "look I've got Lance Armstrong's blood!, let's throw it away and say he's doped and drum up some publicity!". I know you Europeans want someone busted just because you want him bused, with know due process of any sort - but for the system to work there needs to be rules.
Anyhow, Jorg Jakshe would say yes to the original question:
