Based on scant information provided over time, it seems Saugy’s lab was providing the APMU service.    IMHO, the samples were never passed.  Someone, somewhere knew better than to pass Armstrong’s probably suspicious results.  
The UCI was picking winners.  How exactly? Not sure.  The test suppression explains Sky’s **extraordinary** 2012.
