How can you even try to even think that the panel is saying what you were thinking when the panel is stating that?

THINK! Not just for EPO but for other substances, there can be several criteria tests. One or more criteria can have a threshold type criteria but the substance does not have to be a threshold substance!!!!
I even told you.
T/E RATIO is a threshold type test. If the result is over or below the threshold, there can still be other critieria to test.
To tie it with the BAP test, it is a criteria but the panel was trying to state that there can be other criteria that either confirm or do not the BAP threshold test!!!
That is what you are having such a hard time understanding.
With Nandrolone it is a threshold substance. If the threshold is surpassed, then its an indication that this was due to the athlete using illegal drugs. If below the threshold then the indication is that the value is due to human origin!!!! That is it!
EPO is NOT tested that way. As I said before, there are many tests and all I kept stating is that there is a threshold type criteria test. That is what I meant and tried to explain to you BUT YOU DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE!!!
Going back to the case, the panel is stating that there are other ways to come to a conclusion NOT just the BAP test. Previously it was basically the only one so they went with that. SO it was a threshold type test!
STILL, the question of the day was the test itself, is it a threshold type test? YOU BET!!!!
BOTH SIDEs and in fact even the panel says that it was reliable and could have been used even in this case if the LAB chose to .... BUT the LAB has new criteria and the panel agreed that BAP test is not the sole test!!!
