So I have comments scattered in earlier posts.<BR/><BR/> I found something else interesting in her testimoney. She indicated that she turned the sample over to another tech for some procecures and then it is logged back into stogarge 20 minutes later. Seems that the turn over was not logged which would be a break in chain of custody. However, USADA/WADA may be able to cure this if there are records of those other procedures and the times they occurred in the otherwise blank time. Not good practice, but not fatal.<BR/><BR/> I find the verification of SOP by a review of paperwork to be much more offensive, especially when testing a sample to confirm/find a positive. Whoever carried out the test will testify that they did it by the numbers and wrote everything down. It may meet WADA's rules, but not the spirit of them.<BR/>pcrosbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-19803830921156297642007-05-16T12:48:00.000-07:002007-05-16T12:48:00.000-07:00None of this even matters if two of the arbitrator...None of this even matters if two of the arbitrators are in USADA's back pocket. That's the sad truth of this whole debacle - it doesn't matter if a reasonable person can see that this thing was bungled. It only matters whether the arbitrators are reasonable people. So far, two of them aren't even on speaking terms with the third.

Not only that I don't know when I tested his samples, because I just found out that I was a part of this whole thing. But even though I just found out that I actually tested Floyd's samples, I remember that when I tested his samples (not knowing that they were his) that the machine was definitely working. <BR/><BR/>This is painful.

She does not understand her role, the operation of the equipment or protocols of testing. <BR/><BR/>She can, perhaps, follow directions.<BR/><BR/>It is cruel that USADA is willing to sacrifice her personal dignity in this matter.
