The retesting was not sponsored by the commission or anything. Orlando had the retesting done on his own. The commission did not accept this "retest".(IIRC)

So only six years ago they didnt use B-samples in the US?

I honestly don't know all the minutiae of what happened. Maybe they did, and maybe they both came back positive.

Whatever, Salido still went out and had is own independent "retest", the results of which were not considered.

Bottom line is he was found to have an illegal substance in his system. He was fined, suspended for 9 months, and his "victory" was declared a no contest.

These were the final rulings.
