Yours, mine and theirs.
When we at Deathnic sample a customer solution for metal reclaim we take 3 samples. They have one analyzed, we have one analyzed and if there is a discrepancy the tiebreaker goes to a third agreed lab.
How’s come drug tests are left to 2 samples?

Effin' Floyd:
LONDON (Reuters) - Tour de France winner Floyd Landis has tested positive for the male sex hormone testosterone, the U.S. rider's Phonak team said on Thursday.
"The Phonak Cycling Team was notified yesterday by (world cycling body) the UCI of an unusual level of testosterone/epitestosterone ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France," Phonak said in a team statement.
Landis produced a remarkable effort a week ago to win the 17th stage of cycling's showpiece event following a disastrous 16th stage in which he dropped from first to 11th place.
Phonak said Landis would not ride until the matter had been clarified and said that if the B sample analysis confirmed the result of the A sample, the rider would be dismissed.
Phonak added: "The team management and the rider were both totally surprised by this physiological result.
"The rider will ask in the upcoming days for the counter analysis to prove either that this result has come from a natural process or that this is the result of a mistake."
Landis had earlier pulled out of a race in Denmark on Thursday. He also did not ride in a scheduled race in the Netherlands on Wednesday.

My second fifteen minutes of fame has been postponed.
I was scheduled to tape a public access show yesterday promoting National Trails Day http://www.trails.com/national-trails-day.asp & cycling. I was, along with a DOT representative, going to be on a show hosted by a local legend (86 years old) and we were booked by another local legend and bike path advocate (82 years old). Well 168 years of life experience is a wonderful thing and both men have made their mark on the Rhode Island landscape but the all that living has taken a toll on the memory banks.
We arrived to a dark studio and our camera operator rushing off to shoot a local town financial meeting. Our 86-year-old host had forgotten that we were coming. We had to cancel. The taping schedule at the cable company will not allow for getting it shot and on air before Trails Day, June 3.
I wasn’t really looking forward to the taping but I had taken the time out of work and figured I’d do my best. I felt bad for G who had put the thing together. The East Bay Bike Path exists due in no small part to his efforts and it meant a lot to him. He was very disappointed. We drowned our sorrows in a couple of Del’s and he perked up a bit.
We may give it a try again as a retrospective on the event.
