Braun didn’t argue evidence of tampering, didn’t argue
anything about science being wrong but argued protocol had not been
followed. A second source confirmed to ESPN investigative reporter Mark
Fainaru-Wada that Braun did not dispute the science but rather
questioned chain of custody/collection procedure.
According to one of the sources, the collector, after getting Braun’s
sample, was supposed to take the sample to FedEx/Kinkos for shipping
but thought it was closed because it was late on a Saturday. As has
occurred in some other instances, the collector took the sample home and
kept it refrigerated. Policy states that the sample is supposed to get
to FedEx as soon as possible.
