Two other things jumped out at me on first read:<BR/><BR/>They weren't happy that there were so many arguments: "... should have presented a much more focused challenge before this Panel...."<BR/><BR/>And it's fine to screw up, so long as you don't lie about it: "The alleged inconsistencies in LNDD documents and testimony revealed, if anything, in some instances less than ideal laboratory practices, but not lies, fraud, forgery or cover-ups."JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835883594432905712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-27218814087303460842008-06-30T08:41:00.000-07:002008-06-30T08:41:00.000-07:00VII. #76.Dismisses the WADA connection of the USAD...VII. #76.<BR/><BR/>Dismisses the WADA connection of the USADA experts... almost by definition that connection makes them biased.Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723754992347893699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-1164910008875462102008-06-30T08:34:00.000-07:002008-06-30T08:34:00.000-07:00"1.

The LNDD is a WADA-accredited laboratory which benefits from the presumption that it conducted sample analysis in accordance with international laboratory standards.<BR/><BR/>2. The athlete has not rebutted this presumption by showing that a departure from the International Standard occurred.”<BR/><BR/> Those two statements are all that's needed to tell me it was a political decision. The first one tells you they'll stick with whatever the lab says, the second is a lie.Ken Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477646691770055248noreply@blogger.com
