Almost everyday we hear about athletes doping but .... are the testing labs 100% accurate ? can someone please educate me on this issue ?
Here in these forums, top athletes are falsely accused on a continuous basis.
Lagat is a good example, with how the urine samples were handled. A "full report" can be found here at letsrun:
https://www.letsrun.com/2003/lagatfull.docThe "sportsscientists" allowed a guest post from Erik Boye, who has some strong criticism regarding how WADA labs does its testing, and the difficulties for an athlete being able to defend himself against conclusions from raw data that the WADA labs keep to themselves. You might not call them top athletes, but Erik Boye was involved in or aware of the cases of Norwegian speed-walker Erik Tysse, Czech triathlete Vojtech Sommer, German runner Benedikt Karus, and Irish Sprinter Steven Colvert.
