    I've got to believe that the MLB program is run better with better controls than the minor league program. Given my knowledge of DNA testing and accuracy rates these days, I've got to believe that the drug programs are run as well. Perhaps better phrase is "hope"?

    One argument I've seen is that the extremely high level of testosterone actually helps lead to the possibility the test was bad. If you get on a scale today and it says you weigh 800 pounds, maybe the scale is broken.

    I don't know if he's guilty or innocent here. Ive just seen enough to convince me to wait for more info.

    If that's the case B sample would have tested differently. B sample is the fail safe for lab errors.

    That's some fuzzy math, right there.
