Jones ‘B’ sample also comes back positive

From my understanding they test two sample to make sure one wasn't contaminated. It's irreverent that it was taken on the same day...
From what I understand, this is how it works.
USADA shows up to random test and they draw blood. That blood is put into two vials. One is the A sample, the other is the B sample.
Both samples are taken to an accredited lab.
The A sample is tested. The B sample is frozen.
If the A sample comes up negative, it is retested several times to ensure the results are 100% accurate. This can take several weeks.
Results are released to the UFC and the athletic commission.
Fighter then has the option to have the B sample tested by the same lab, or a different accredited lab. B sample doesnt take as long because it's only proving the results match the A sample test. It doesn't have to tested, retested multiple times.

irreverent? It's not that or irrelevant. I've already explained it. It's about the possibility of Human Error.
Was that on the Fight Companion he did with Joey Diaz?
That would be the one......
I have to go back and listen to the first half of that podcast again. Thanks for the heads up.
Tough job being smarter than everybody isnt it?irreverent? It's not that or irrelevant. I've already explained it. It's about the possibility of Human Error.
NDNH can rest easy knowing you'll be his replacement when he quits tmmac over jones.
so 1 stick for all those banned substances?You guys have, obviously, never worked in a lab setting. This testing isn't just pissing in a cup and putting a stick in and waiting for it to change colors. The B sample is to make sure there wasn't human error causing a false positive. Jesus Christ, how fucking hard is it to understand so much of the shit that has been discussed over the last 24 hours?
Did a couple of you dumb-asses actually group Burr with Callen? Da fuck?
What about the c-sample? Are the testers illiterate or something? C'mon USADA, there's a whole alphabet left!!
It's a bit easier when you know what substance you are testing for. There is a long list of substances to test for and different tests for many of them.
Good bump. Got me for a second. I was wondering how I missed this thread long enough for it to get to three pages. Now I know, damn you!
I normally hate this, but I was bored and time to get a few back
So now I can't complain about it anymore.
When is the real b sample result expected to be back?
Didn't get me
No sir
It's 0340 , you need to get up way earlier to trick me with a bump.

I know you a pro. I was actually up till 130 though.
When he gets cleared of this fixed result, you can all apologise to me via pm to spare the public embarrassment
