Analyzing the tissue, scientists concluded it came from the same genetic pool and was "consistent" with the bodily makeup of one of 46 lacrosse players who gave DNA samples for testing, the sources said.

What does this exactly mean? The guy was a particular race?

My guess is the sample didn't contain enough genetic markers for a MATCH. Same genetic pool and consistent are a much lower standared.

I said earlier that I suspected from the wording that the DNA was actually weaker than the article portrayed. Scientists won't call it a match, but the media has.

This also explains why the SBI didn't find any matches.. Without the requisite genetic markers, they weren't going to give this any type of classification regarding Identification.
