Or, could it be that the so-called tester decided to 'phone it in' and could not be bothered knocking on her door ?
Christian Coleman insists he was home eating dinner and watching football on television when the tester claimed he knocked on his door.
The AIU seems to operate on the principle that it's testers do no wrong, while athletes are treated as guilty until they can prove their innocence.
I think Gabby got one of hers overturned as well as she said she was at home with friends and no one heard the doorbell, and she got her friends to testify on her behalf and used phone tracking data to verify she was at the location she said she was at during the contested testing window.
"When the suspension was announced, Thomas said in a statement made available to Reuters that one of the missed tests was not valid and that she expected to be cleared of charges.
“Phone tracking data and multiple witnesses will conclusively show that I was at the exact location I established in my whereabouts and that the doping control officer simply failed to locate me and failed to follow proper protocol,” Thomas said in the statement."
