This study demonstrates that a single exposure to GHB in a case of sexual assault can be documented by hair analysis when collected about one month after the crime.

From Mike Nifong's post #322:

Gottlieb was looking for a lab to do testing on 4/27 in his handwritten notes, but - get this - Nifong leads the Newsweek reporter to believe that he had tests showing she had a Date Rape Drug in her system before 4/24, when this piece was printed in Newsweek:

So the Herald Sun was being deliberately misleading when they wrote:

Negative results, he [Dr. Shannon Miller] said, don't necessarily mean no substances were used. That's because some drugs can wash out of the body quickly, he said, also citing the importance of the timing of the test.

Bottom line - the expert was refering to urine samples. A negative hair sample from CGM does indeed mean no date-rape drug was used. The Herald-Sun is busted.

Yeah, they were misleading folks.

The hair test results are devastating to Nifong.

He still has his fingers in his ears, though.
