I was referring to your second paragraph. I am asking about something more specific. I do not see anything that says masking agents were detected, just that he tested clean in these tests, so my assumption is that nothing could be done other than masking agents, which were not detected in the test. At least that is how I am seeing it. I am not disagreeing with you, just asking if anyone else has more clarification on the subject.

It's actually far more likely and logical that he messed up the dose, his body responded differently due to the stress of bonking the day before, or that something went awry with his masking agent. These aren't wild speculations but more logical and fact based explanations of how someone who failed a test did so. Of course, it could have been the jack daniels
You say you know what you are talking about, but you are simply jumping to wild and unfounded conclusions. Citing the data at hand (the large numbers of clean tests and no failed tests), it is not jumping to conclusions to say that he has raced clean. He has raced certifiably clean, as best as the system can determine that. He has passed all the tests.
