In a world of properly done testing using lab CoC and procedures that are beyond reproach and using properly trained lab techs one should NEVER have a false positive. In this case, however, we know from their own admissions, that the lab personnel did not use good lab procedures, have an incomplete CoC and made lots of mistakes on a recurring basis.<BR/><BR/>This is where a lot of reporters and that Dave fellow over in that Sioux City Journal fail to understand about this case. To the average Joe/Jane they just assume that an accredited lab would have infallible procedures, this is "science" after all and we are supposed to trust science.Ken (EnvironmentalChemistry.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07434682840236999820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-62557419289450416882007-06-28T16:30:00.000-07:002007-06-28T16:30:00.000-07:00"A positive test is a positive test." Indeed. But ..."A positive test is a positive test." Indeed. But at what point does all this become good old garden variety slander and libel? <BR/><BR/>The road is likely to get stranger and stranger. If Floyd prevails, either at the arbitration phase or at the CAS (or even in France with the pending AFLD case) will he press forward with a defamation action against those responsible? I think we can even see evidence of "NY Times malice" in some of these statement.Eightzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326301095221867947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-71812688099818927042007-06-28T15:15:00.000-07:002007-06-28T15:15:00.000-07:00The link for the Sioux City Journal is bad.

All repercussions placed on cyclist and no accountability for labs and WADA. It just burns me up.atown, tx.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753948928025837869noreply@blogger.com
