According to ESPN.com, the Turkish federation has lifted the ban on former UConn star Diana Taurasi. According to the article:
The Turkish Basketball Federation said the lab retracted its report after it "evaluated" Taurasi's statements in her defense. The federation did not say whether the lab made a mistake.Sounds like it is an interesting conversation:
Turkish lab: "I'm sorry Ms. Taurasi but you tested positive for modafinil."
Ms. Taurasi: "Bullshit! I never took that! Test the B sample!"
Turkish lab: "I'm sorry Ms. Taurasi but your B sample tested positive as well."
Ms. Taurasi: "Bullshit! I never took that! Your testing sucks!"
Turkish lab: "Well she has us there. I guess we can retract our findings. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Of course, the other possibility is their lab really does suck. Taurasi's teammates refused to let them test their blood, and the lab was forced to retract a positive result for Monique Coker who also tested positive for modafinil.
