The Hamilton case starts on the bottom of page 81 (116 pages total).

Hmmm....

"The coach on one basketball team...breached the doping protocol..."

"One athlete about whom considerable suspicion had emerged...was able to
jump the boundary fence..."

"Of particular concern is the situation in road cycling where the
International Standard was not applied and cyclists were not notified on
completion of the event..."

Excellent comment on Information Technology: (p37)
"IF USED CORRECTLY, computers can accelerate the process and help
eliminate sources of error." (my emphasis added)

"A look-alike for THG with mass values identical to THG , however with a
wrong match of MS intensities...The structure of the lookalike could
not be resolved." (p58) Tentative evidence for a new designer steroid?

"Several corticosteroids with Therapeutic Use Exemptions..." That would
be the men's road race... (p58)

13 people accompanied one athlete to the opening of the B-sample. (p60)

Stanozolol and clenbuterol are still i use (p61).

Moderately interesting on the protocol, particularly the emphasis placed
on removing any opportunity for manipulation by the athlete. Nothing
much new on Hamilton, maybe a little extra detail on the mixup with
freezing the sample.
