Nope, what you tried to do is full of it
Tests to detect performance-enhancing drugs in athletes are improving, but even the newest have limitations, testing experts say, following recent reports of widespread doping in athletics.
the ABP is a useful additional tool, but it has limitations too, said Catlin, whose lab helped create many of the tests currently used to detect performance-enhancing drugs. An individual’s hemoglobin levels can vary from day to day. Low hemoglobin could be due to anemia or some other condition. If that were the baseline, a bounce back to normal could look su****ious if the test is not used carefully.
To avoid incorporating normal shifts into the su****ious category the level constituting a positive test has to be set so high that there is room underneath to avoid detection.
“The passport is constantly being modified to make it better and stronger,” said Catlin, a former member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical Commission. “You just have to be darn careful as to how you set the rules.”

The key word is "partial" which means that in order to have a full sample, they needed to wait about 6 hours to get.
Floyd/Ellerbe said it was "JUST" DEHYDRATION.

They had no reason to get 2 IV bags when they could have just drank fluids …. and Floyd actually did do that!!!
