Nice, but how does that contradict what I said ?
Anyway, back to you...
So a 2% probability of a false positive gives an 8% probability of a false positive is n = 4 ?
That is what you said and it is wrong, sorry.
Modern doping tests can differentiate between naturally occurring nandrolone and the one present because of steroid doping.
see https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/ ... n-athletes
This is extremely unlikely.
Every sample that is collected is clearly marked and the identity of the person tested is checked twice.
For the testing Authority to want to frame someone that is another absurd statement from you. You are entering the twilight zone of conspiracy theories now.
Of course there are legal repercussions because doping is against the law.

The equation to find that probability is:
(1-n)^t
where in this case
( 1 - 1/6 )^6

That's obviously not so very reliable. Especially for a bodybuilder, since having huge muscles and intensely working out by itself tends to raise natural testosterone levels slightly beyond normal levels.
