If testing of the day is unable to catch an athlete then one has to assume that all top level atheltes will use because there is no immediate consequence. Once you win the tour or get your gold medal you cash in with sponsorship and appearance fees. A positive test 4 years later isn't a disincentive because you have already branded and sold yourself.
It really only damages the sport because it breaks the illusion that a negative test means a clean athlete.

Not sure if you read the article that Troutman posted just above your post, but I think it does an excellent job of answering those questions.
