Latest on glaucine positives

Interesting comment on positives in Penn in 2012. Thought Dr. Allday said the prob of contamination was extremely low. Or just another case of multiple positives means sweep it under rug.

You think the New York Commission and lab went to the trouble and expense of developing glaucine testing to then not pursue positives? Frankly, whether they prosecute from this first round of tests or not, just the fact that they have the ability to find glaucine will end its' use. I'd let NY finish their investigation before drawing conclusions.

As for the contamination aspect, Dr. Benson from RMTC mentioned it in regards to the 2012 PA circumstance when this emerged, but Doc Allday explained that there would be differences in contaminant trace positives and amounts that would trigger 'positives' to be called. He thinks that if it shows up, it was most likely utilized proactively.
