Anderson Silva was 'cleared' of his second offense, not his first.
Some compare his case to Romero, but the circumstances are clearly different how they got cleared by USADA. Romero submitted CLOSED sample of the supplement that they suggested were contaminated, which was confirmed by USADA.
Silva submitted OPEN sample of the supplement in. USADA then reports to have investigated INDEPENDANTLY and acquired 'numerous' products from the company that created that supplement, seemingly without specifying whether it was the same supplement but that they were from the same company.
Of course, I do not have all the facts about the process that took place in both instances, but the later appears to require quite a leap of logic to support their claim of innocence, but I suppose it was 'hard' enough evidence for USADA.
