I have to agree with you. (although using "synthetic" DNA would not be unusual, all DNA that results from PCR can be said to be synthesized)
If this is the case, they are misleading a lot of collectors and the Olympics commission which hired them.
From their website:
"This liquid includes a unique formula of DNA and optical labels with rare light-emitting chemicals. You can view the authenticating mark with a specially calibrated laser, which is set to the exact frequency used by PSA/DNA, and it will glow a bright green or red color"
They don't specifically say that the laser is detecting a unique sequence of DNA, only that it is detecting their special formula. Is this hype or an outright lie?
