Alex Schwazer caught again.

Another possible scenario is that there is corruption within the Italian Anti-Doping Agency (a NADO that has had many compliance issues), they tested his sample and it was "clean", then a lab in a different country tests it and it's not clean.

It will be very interesting to see what happens with his case.

It doesn't have to be corruption, just inconsistency or incompetence. This is why WADA send anonymous samples to all labs to ensure they maintain testing standards after certification. Some of them have lost certification because they produced inconsistent results for different samples with same content.

WADA not happy with Italian judge's commentary

Simply not buying the Italian court's premise. Other than protection against crimes in Italy, don't see how it has any effect on WADA, WA or the IOC, based on jurisdiction. Would love to read the full decision.
