Bam bam - I guess you are Sam Still?
I wrote the article. My object was to spread information and minize room for rumours. Everything up on the table. I do this as a private person who likes freediving.
Regarding facts on your case I had a hard time finding anything else than what I wrote. Tom commented, Nagel commented, Bill S commented. But in the end I decided what to write (since I try to use journalistic principles).
If doping is found it means the system works. It means that it will deter others from doping. And when B-samples are cleared - that also means the system works.
Sam, I am happy that you where cleared! And I think all athletes competing should be aware that doping can enter your body without you knowing if you are not careful what you eat. Also us bystanders must understand that most things on the doping list are useless for excelling in freediving.
I will add the facts you mention.

Unfortunately this happens all the time. At least in media. Corrections seldom get the same coverage.

PS. Hats of for both Tom and Eric. And even though the unfortunate things mentioned in this thread - I am very much looking forward to follow this competition. I think this is the way to go. It will be dramatic.
