I just checked the wada website, Bloem was the only accredited lab in AFRICA. Seriously?

Oh goodness me.. so does it then mean that it is open season for the dopers?

[EmptyB]

If you read the article on above link to Citizen all is under control. Tests are fine. Future tests at the same rate will continue. Just be sent overseas.

One of the reasons most drunk driving cases is thrown out is because of the chain of evidence.

 

Who transport,how transported,where stored and could contamination have taken place.These are all increased by extra travel.

Hahaha... was thinking the exact same thing! If only there weren't so many Visa regulations

Maybe this is a marketing ploy from Tourism SA?

 

Sounds like open season for the dopers to me!
