24. And if her sample B comes back clean?
Mon Feb 14, 2022, 12:22 PM

There is such a thing as false positive. She has a right to have sample B tested. And she has a right to be present for the testing. And the general statement that "Russians cheat on everything" are pretty racist. Of course it's okey to post this about Russians, but not about other groups, for whatever reasons.
