Apparently in all the years of using urine tests for testosterone, nobody thought to double check that the urine level actually corresponds to the blood level. This isn't an obscure point, either; it's essential to the proper function of the test.<BR/><BR/>Why didn't they find this out sooner?

Do they just "out" the players who can't generate a positive test and have them play in suspicion? Do they ban these people from playing? I mean seriously. What if a player didn't know he had this gene then finds out? Can he then juice away? My head is spinning.<BR/><BR/>And two thirds of Asian men huh?
