Keep in mind that teams are mostly just preparing to leave at this point. This will be just the tip of an iceberg in terms of athletes testing positive.

According to insidethegames.biz, German officials are concerned about the validity of Chinese PCR tests. Michael Hölz (President of the German snowboarding association) has stated that PCR test results -much like anti-doping ones- may easily be manipulated (implying that the Chinese have a long history of tampering with anti-doping tests...). For instance, they may announce a positive PCR test, not allow an athlete to compete in an event and then simply apologize by saying it was actually a false positive. As expected, the Chinese have already refuted this claim. What's your take on this?

Canadian Rob Koehler, Director General of an organization called Global Athlete (who used to work for WADA btw) is also very skeptical and has voiced misgivings about the Chinese testing methods and results.
