Wolfson seems to have 'extraordinary' abilities in many cases but isoxuprine is not the reason.
I agree 100%. It's common to have the smoking gun be a distraction, but at the same time the smoking gun is all that a person might have gotten caught for. Of course, smoking gun or not, it doesn't mean that he or anyone else is clean. It's a slippery slope.

As I said, I think there was a second positive test. The isoxuprine rings the bell for me now, but I think there was something else.
