This quote from an
MSNBC story sounds kind of laughable, until you pause to reflect how absurd and asinine it really is:
Quote:
“... the Panel finds that the practises of the Lab in training its employees appears to lack the vigor the Panel would expect in the circumstances given the enormous consequences to athletes” of an adverse analytical finding, the decision said.
The majority repeatedly wrote that any mistakes made at the lab were not enough to dismiss the positive test, but also sent a warning.
“If such practises continue, it may well be that in the future, an error like this could result in the dismissal” of a positive finding by the lab.

So apparently it's no big deal that an error like this might have cost an innocent man his career, lively-hood and reputation. Someone might get away with something, which would be a lot worse.
