a) QUEST expert states that 733 ng/ml is not a reliable number. It can be more or less. The actual reliable number is > 300 ng/ml
b) Its not 1:15 minutes. You need to calculate from the time when he tried to dilute his urine which was right after the fight most probably plus that he voided a more concentrated urine 1:15 minutes before the last test!!!
c) 3 experts state something like this "nearly impossible to directly correlate the 3 specific gravity"
Diaz's lawyer agrees "tested - different collectors, collected using completely different collecting methods. sent to different LABs, different agencies and different results"
Diaz's "expert" witness: "Final results can vary dramatically since its a different protocol using different equipment,...!!!!" WOW! BOOOM! He just placed his foot in his mouth. Slam dunk!!!
Sure, I'll explain. I hope you can follow. All three tests taken on the day of the fight found marijuana metabolites. Two from the WADA lab were 61ng or lower, and 1 from the non-WADA lab was 733ng. Now the question is, why are you going with the 733ng non-WADA accredited lab that ****ed up the chain of custody of the sample and ****ed up the anonymity of the sample as opposed to the two WADA accredited lab results that followed all WADA protocol? Since I answered your question, I'd like for you to answer mine.
I explained above as far as units is concerned but lets use Floyd's IV scandal to help you out.
Why doesn't the NSAC throw the book at Floyd over the IV scandal? Answer that and you can then realize that you should STOP using WADA as the must protocol. QUEST has been used before by NSAC and NSAC accepts their protocols.
And I'm assuming that you mean to say the protocol that Quest used once is somehow superior than the protocol that the WADA accredited lab used twice in this matter. Hmm. But not only that. You do realize that Quest relies on a specific gravity test to confirm their test for a diluted sample, do you not? Now, what do you have to say about that? It's not that Quest uses one instead of the other. Quest says even if the sample fails the creatinine test, it still is NOT confirmed as dilute depending on the results of a specific gravity test. Hmmmm. Explain that.
Again, its different protocol and now your expert witness agrees with me!

Lets repeat:
Diaz's "expert" witness: "Final results can vary dramatically since its a different protocol using different equipment,...!!!!" WOW! BOOOM! He just placed his foot in his mouth. Slam dunk!!!
What did you tell me about specific gravity? That it's relied on by Quest, whom you are insinuating had a superior protocol than the WADA accredited lab
1) immunoassay test which is a qualitative test: Score of 1.4 which means its positive. It provides either a positive or negative result, indicating the presence or absence of detectable drug. In Diaz's case, its positive
2) quantitative using gc/ms to measure the amount of the metabolite - Reliability is that it measured at > 300 ng/ml. Measurement value was 733 ng/ml but that is higher than the upper limit. So to say that it may be more or less. So that is why they say and are reliable with stating > 300 ng/ml
So to say that Diaz was tested twice and consequently FAILED TWICE!!!
