Um, punitive damages when the B sample hasn't been tested and the labs and methodology are questionable?
I believe the term "if the counter-analysis confirms his positive" means if the B sample is positive, so this isn't punitive damages when the B sample hasn't been tested, its damages after the B sample comes back positive too.

Totally agree on the issue about the lab and their methodology, I hope they at least are following SOPs for a change, but I highly doubt it.

And I guess it is hard to keep it confidential when the Gendarme drag him away in a police car. Man, what a risk to take and amazing that given the ever increasing scrutiny they still think they can pull it off. I believe a lot of them got away with it for a long time because the testing was very predictable. It no longer is, so I just can't imagine them being stupid enough to take the chance, and yet, they do. I always figure with most of them, there was some MD or someone with my background telling them, oh this won't be detectable because ..... and they believe it because of the letters after the persons name. Also stupid.

I'm still going to enjoy the tour, but dang it all I'm tired of defending that to so many people (at work mainly).

Plus, this was a Day 1 positive, and don't they all get tested on Day 1? I thought they did.
