Excellent, let's play "Appeal-to-Authority!"

When it's clear that Catlin's lab would have declared Landis' IRMS/CIR
results negative, what will you say?

This trustbut guy is a simpleton and uses flawed logic left and right.

The issue in CAS isn't going to be whether the UCLA lab protocol would
have declared Landis test negative or not, but rather whether Catlin
testifies that just having 1 metabolite out of 4 being positive is good
enough (it clearly is under WADA Protocol). Given that USADA declined
to dimiss the case, I think we pretty much know that this is going to
have to be Catlin's answer.

Just because Catlin's lab has a more stringent standard, doesn't mean
that a lower threshold is wrong (or means it is negative under WADA
Protocol).

The way to look at this issue is that Catlin's lab has simply adopted a
higher standard on its own. Labs are free to do that so long as their
threshold meets WADA protocol, which the Landis result does.

Let me know if you need any more help with your homework, Junior.

Hey Sonny, do you you really think WADA and Mr. Pound are down with a
lab letting DOPERS!!!! off the hook by having more stringent standards
than prescribed on the stone?

Uh huh. OK.

right.

It must be true. Please enlighten me with more examples, exalted
banana eater.
