I don't know any specifics on these drugs but don't they stay in their system long enough for them to dispute it? Another words if the athlete was saying what Giancarlo thinks couldn't another country outside of the host country retest him to verify the results? Another words an independent drug tester who could verify that they found traces of it in their system.
If that can be done and the athlete isn't debating the fact I think they're as good as guilty. As long as they can take another drug test to prove their innocence there is no reason why they wouldn't try and do so.
What am I missing?

Drug tests are already independently made by the organization WADA and the IOC. In this case it was an unexpected out of competition test by WADA. The spanish IOC medical member (I don't know his exact title) was present for the B-test of Muhlegg which was also positive.
No, from what I know, this drug doesn't stay in the athletes body for more than about a week and then they have to take more for it to have effect. That's why Muhlegg had to refuel himself with more of this drug in the middle of the games prior to his third race.
That's when he was caught, in an unexpected extra urine test. The other tests where the cheaper simple blood tests and that's why they didn't spot the nepo in those earlier tests. And that's why he most likely will be able to keep his first two gold medals of the game.
Which is completely unfair to the other athletes and makes the IOC look like fools.

What about the highlights of your Spanish athletes??? They, like all countries, have some great memories. :classic2:
The drug abusers will always try to slip through the testing, but they are a minority! At least pay tribute to your countrymen and women who have won with TRUE athletic talent!

Absolutely true! It is fortunately a minority that want to try to enhance their performance. The majority use their natural talent.
Bear in mind GC that random tests are taken throughout their sporting life, not just at Olympic level. You just don't hear so much about it unless you follow the 4 years leading up to the next Olympics.
We might hear more because of the Commonwealth Games so really only 2 years between major competition.
I don't think that it's fair to call the Olympics a disgrace when maybe 5% of the athletes are the ones giving them a bad name by doping, or bitching or whatnot. There are more good stories that come out of the Olympics, like when someone not expected to finish tenth wins the gold, or something like that.
