    Now that you mention that about the temperature, I remember reading that the bladder/pouch he had with the clean urine in it had a toe warmer attached to it. I think it was like one of these:

    'Sugar' Shane Mosley weighs in on Garcia testing positive :

    "The man responsible for me and Ryan Garcia testing positive is Victor Conte. Very controversial guy."

    An athlete is considered guilty as soon as they test positive and they remain guilty unless the 'B' sample clears them.

    Garcia has tested positive from 2 separate tests. So, as of now he is considered guilty.

    The 'B' sample is taken from the athlete at the same time as the 'A' sample and tested in the same lab, in the same manner. Because of that, a 'B' sample varying from the result of an 'A' sample is extremely rare.

    I wouldn't be holding your breath for May 22nd to arrive because it is highly unlikely to improve Garcia's situation.

    Not sure what other ways Garcia could have cheated? Neither did he probably or he would have tried them too.

    Should you get disqualified for cheating in sport?

    I guess that's a moral question. But if you have any morals, your answer has to be yes.

    I thought A and B samples were taken from the exact same specimen collection,the first test from it being called the A sample and the second test from that same specimen being called the B sample .

    So has there been any updates on the B-sample results that we've been waiting on? Is Ryan in the clear or what?
