Yes, it appears we can add the toxicology report to the broomstick molestation, the condom usage, the rape jackets, etc. as just more propaganda peddled by the media hoping desperately to shore up the credibility of the rape accusation and lynch these Duke boys.

So what happened? Recall the early ESPN article based on an interview with an anonymous source at Duke Hospital.

That source said Crystal was screaming hysterically, and refused to let herself be touched by any man. So by being aggressive and loud, and limiting those who were dealing with her to other women, she was then able essentially to intimidate those people and take control of the situation. She probably refused to let them take blood or urine samples and the SANE nurse limited her examination to a physical examination, swabs for DNA and an assessment of her "demeanor" which the sympathetic nurse found "consistent with" rape.

As someone pointed out earlier, two of the expert witnesses listed by Nifong are medical personnel at Duke, and based on their resumes which were dug up on the net, are the people who did the exam. The nurse's undergraduate major was "women's studies". Wanna' bet she was a "sympathetic" examiner.

A source has provided ESPN with a detailed account of the exotic dancer's arrival at the hospital the night of the alleged sexual assault at a party thrown by members of the Duke men's lacrosse team.

The source, who asked to remain anonymous, was present at the hospital on the night of the alleged incident and says the woman was "beat up" but would not immediately divulge to anyone the identity of her alleged assailants.

"She was hysterical," the source said. "She was crying, she was pretty banged up. She said she was sexually assaulted, but she didn't say by whom."

The source says the woman entered the hospital well after midnight March 13 wearing a red nightgown and nothing on her feet. She was walking on her own, but there were bruises on her face, neck, and arms.

A triage nurse attended to her, but the woman did not want him to touch her because he was a man. She was then examined by a sexual assault nurse.

There were injuries to the woman's pelvic area, the source said.

According to the source, the woman did not immediately inform either the police or the hospital staff who inflicted the injuries to her.

"She never said one thing about Duke, any athlete or anything," the source said. "She just kept hollering and screaming. She never said who did it."

The woman was discharged after approximately five hours.
