- Yes, he has to cover his own legal costs . - Yes he had to pay for one of the independent tests and the other was free of charge (both clearly documented in the embedded documents in the original article posted on this thread). If not I believe we have shared them with Letsrun to publish.
- He never failed a blood test (blood passport was negative, urine was what had the ‘positive’ A sample). Both blood and urine were taken at the same time. Not to be rude, but if you are not across what he failed, then you have taken the time to read the article.
- Independent lads review the tests performed by the Australian labs, athletes don’t get access to their urine or blood. Also worth noting that athletes in Australia have to pay to get a copy of the lab pack ($1250 per test). It’s free for athletes in the US for example.
I'm thinking, that actually, we will know fairly soon. Either he will be able to run the same times he has been running recently or he will regress, and that will be our answer. I kind of doubt that if he was micro-dosing EPO that he will continue.
Greene clearly knows how to pick which experts for which scenario:
As reported by the Herald and The Age last month, Norwegian professors Jon Nissen-Meyer, Tore Skotland, Erik Boye and Bjarne Osterud have been long-term critics of EPO testing by some WADA-sanctioned laboratories because they are too reliant on the subjective interpretation of results.
But why Chen from UBC? He is a mass spec/sugar guy...
Pretty bizarre how someone who never took epo can test positive for it, eh? But logically i'd think he probably had trace amounts of it which disappeared in re-testing, which would explain what happened.
There's so many of these elites on the sauce and they all know how difficult it is to actually get unlucky to test positive for it. If someone is diligent and careful with regards to their doping regimen, there's no way they should not be beating this faulty testing system that gives advanced notice, given that the drug traces can disappear quickly or be deliberately made to disappear quickly with masking agents.
It's a co-incidence, or extraordinary bad luck, that the two most prominant James Templeton athletes - Bernard Lagat and Peter Bol - have both suffered such 'catastrophic blunders' in completely unrelated labs seperated by two decades.
Lacking the character to admit you were wrong AND functionally illiterate in your native language. Coincidence? I think not.

You’ve not read the thread have you?
his coach has explained that the ‘retest’ is not a retest at all.
It’s a secondary (and tertiary) analysis of the original tests.

This is a show put together in order to keep the current status quo - meaning letting Africans and other third world athletes cheat as much as possible. It's all political, and part of a broader attack on the West in general. Look at how 'they' spring into action when one of their precious tools is accused/caught. It's laughable.

How do you think these tests work? You make it sound as if there is just a printout of what compounds were found or something farcical.
NYT mentioned the same issue with some analysts potentially misinterpreting the SARS-Page gel test results.
Thank you, very informative.

He's got a ton of publications and experience in capillary electrophoresis and separation technologies, which is relevant here. Also, being a "sugar guy" would be helpful in this case, given the nature of EPO and rEPO because they differ in their sugar profiles.
Nice. You of course have no evidence for it to be in the rules.
Would you expect my to provide evidence for one of the claims from Prof. Erik Boye?
However, I would expect you to provide evidence for your claim.
But just the same, I completely took your advice, because I didn't believe your un-reviewed claim provided with no evidence, and I read the WADA rules covering the labs. He's right and you are not. Thanks for the tip.
