The urine test for recombinant EPO continues to show reliability problems. Triathlete Magazine is reporting that WADA has been forced to discard two more positive EPO tests:
Of the 10 urine samples analyzed from Ironman Lanzarote, … two were positive for r[ecombinant]EPO, one was non-detectable, three were "non-qualifiable" and four were negative. The fact that four of the samples were either non-detectable or non-qualifiable is clearly suggestive of a major issue regarding the analytical procedures.
The two nominally positive tests have been thrown out by WADA.

Hi Amateur, it's L-girl from "we move to canada". Thought I'd check out your blog. I see you've got some comment spam going on...
Anyway, I'm very intrigued that you are a former Olympic athlete! I have written extensively about the Paralympics - the premiere competition for athletes with disabilities that is held after the Olympics - and in general I'm very interested in non-professional athletes. I'll check out your blog.
Thanks for visiting wtmc.
Hi L-girl, and welcome. I also "moved to canada" (in my case back to Canada) about six years ago, after six years in the US as a graduate student.
I have not written much here about the Paralympics but I am a fan.
As a Canadian cultural reference you might find
this post interesting.
