actually she was saved by tester competence.

she should have been busted for giving the wrong main address, and would have been if the tester had stayed at the incorrect given address.
was she tested? no. why not? wrong and unclear address in a clearly confusing situation.
But Bahrain pay for athletes, so........
Clean athletes should be able to anonymously demand an appeal. How does anyone take this sport seriously?
How was she saved by the tester.
Her reputation is ruined by his/ her incompetence as she was in.
And was it a male tester ; I can’t work that out?
Why did the tester keep looking for her elsewhere as he had no mission issued for this. Or are wada just incompetent.
I have read the actual decision.
The tester went way beyond his required duties to try and avoid a missed test. As entertaining as the wrong door story may sound, it's all irrelevant. She should have been in breach from the point that the tester turned up looking for an address that doesn't exist.
Many areas don't permit the phone-call, which I think should be the case, but given that she did have that option to avoid a missed test too, yet hadn't updated the number this is absolutely shocking on her part. Best case scenario, she's shown a complete disrespect for the testing process that undermines the credibility of the sport. Some might argue that it's a very convenient way of avoiding testing.
