The UKAD statement says that Whyte showed them evidence which proved it didn't happen because of negligence on his part. And that might not have been too difficult, because he passed VADA tests only days before and after the flagged test result, meaning the time frame involved was very short. And you are right, we have no idea how often dramas like this occur behind the scenes, because if the story isn't leaked to the press, we wouldn't know anything about it. |

I have no idea whether the figures support this argument cos they ain't released Dillian's metabolyte concentrations, but those are the grounds on which he's been cleared I believe. As a general principle both WADA and VADA have accepted the principle of mitigating circumstances (ie inadvertant use or contamination) despite the apparent contradiction with their policy of strict liability, as demonstrated by the Clenbuterol contamination issue, so clearing him if there is a belief that he did not deliberately attempt to cheat ain't really controversial any more. What this really boils down to is your willingness to believe that UKAD would participate in some kind of cover up or obfuscation to protect Dillian... and I think it's not too much of a surprise that most of us are more likely to accept the legitimacy of our own national based testing agencies than those of other countries, though to my knowledge there ain't any particularly strong evidence that UKAD is any more or less corrupt or competent than USAD or indeed VADA (though I believe UKAD are at least partially answerable to both Parliament and WADA which means they have a degree more oversight than VADA. |
