Could Paul Edwards, thrower banned for life, be telling the truth?

Once the drug testing regime starts working then everything is against the athlete.

Houlihan and Edwards, both the same.

Burden of proof and poor science all stacked against the athlete.

In the case of Edwards ; new evidence of contamination of the water blanks with mis info about calibration curves , but no chance of case being re opened.

Yes contamination of the water blank and a cover up about the non use of calibration work ups.

Really appalling.

And they did over 50 attempts with no calibration curves to eventually find one that had him guilty but to do so had to use someone else’s urine.

Appalling.

Yes over 50 attempts and with no calibration curves.

Why does no one else think it is appalling?

Letsrun posters find so much to get on a high moral ground about but not this case; why?

To have a test result valid they have to follow the methodology set out for the machines they use.

Not having calibration work up invalidates the results.

Lying about doing so and then your legal department have to admit they were not done should have been a life ban and not a life ban for Edwards.

I heard Paul bought a burrito truck...

We don’t allow steroids to be pumped into our animals in the UK unlike the good cheaters in the USA.

And what about your chlorinated chickens ; disgusting.

Edwards, being off Welsh origin, only ever had the best lamb, marvellous food unlike to drug fuelled pig factories in the food primitive States.

Oliver Dustin was subject to cross contamination in the lab.

That is exactly what happened to Edwards with the water blank and then the cover up with no calibration curves having been done.

Why is Dustin to be cleared and Edwards not?

Cos he is a runner or can’t the testers cheat now?

I remind they lied about have done no calibration curves having told the heating panels that they had done them and then had a lie given to Parliament.

An other Olympics gone and Edwards gets no justice today remedy the appalling analysis of his sample.

They have now had to admit that they have now illegally destroyed Edwards data.

Not breach of Doping law but breach of Law as set out by Parliament.

Will this cost UKAD 4% of their 7£Million turnover.

And what if they have destroyed thousands upon thousands of athletes data.

Or just just lost it.

Strict Liability, will it send the drug to the banned list?

This thread is going to live longer than me. Possibly immortal.

When data protection law catches up with antidoping and makes it ineffective then you can blame the Edwards case.

They had enough chance to clear him and now the Law could ban drug testing.

How do they get away with sending personal data all round the world and comply with each nations data laws including nations that have no data law?

I am told that Canada does not meet Euro data stds ; does this mean that it is illegal to send data to wada?

Anyway they are in enough trouble for destroying Edwards data without his permission and even then there is no record of any safe destruction.

Oh dear; some heads are going to roll.

The fine for destroying all the various athletes data, and remember it is their data, is 4% of turnover and more if they have been warned before.

Who bashed on and in which organisation with these breaches of law?

Why is the Edwards case and it’s effects on the whole of drug testing by drug testing destroying data not been worked out by letsrun readers.

And they did not do calibration work up on his samples

and covered it up and now his data has been destroyed .
