Comment Drug test the final standard? (Score 5, Insightful) 482

I don't think anyone has ever believed that passing a drug test mean the person was clean for sure. Why do they store samples for X number of years in order to re-test them in the future, with better technology? It's because if it's found out later that somebody was doping, then his results are invalid.

If we find out some other way besides a drug test that somebody was doping, then his results are invalid.
