Hard to believe it took a scandal for that to be a rule.

Afaik that was already the rule 25-30 years ago when Armstrong was cycling. I can remember track and field athletes being banned when they didn‘t show up for surprise tests. So either cycling was more lenient or he got a bonus treatment because he was famous.

On a side note: much harder today to not be available/found than it was 30 odd years ago.
