Yes, tests can be incorrect. The racing jurisdictions know it, as the procedure for split sample testing to eliminate laboratory error as a cause for a positive, and as confirmation of a positive, is built into the system.

The only reason the public knows of this positive is because the owner decided to talk about it.

The track reps refused to talk about it with the press, as the case is still pending and the positive hasn't been confirmed - which if/when it is, will then lead to a hearing, and then to a decision by the part of the racing jurisdiction as to guilt or innocence.

I personally will wait until he's found guilty before calling Larry Jones a cheater.

But you go right ahead.

I reread the thread....I never called Larry Jones a cheater. Don't put words in my mouth to suit your agenda.

I will reiterate what I did say.....I believe the people who cheat, whoever they are, are destroying this game.
