Issued to the investigator. And so, while that is going on, they have this additional cases that they are working on and that process it continues, throughout the year. That is great and that is an improvement and i have a question for you if you dont know the answer that is fine. I saw on the news that a state senator from the east bay is asking for legislation to expedite the testing of all rape, trauma kits throughout california, given our current state of our protocol, if you have seen what the senator is proposed do we fit in that and what the senator is asking for. I did read the bill and i can tell you that the administrative code, 28. 89, that mandates what the policy will be for the Police Department in terms of testing for dna, our standard is a lot higher, that we meet. We have, we are required by the administrative code to collect kits within 72 hours, which we do. We keep track of that collection and we have never missed that mark not once. And our time goal in the adminis
The Assembly Bill, said that the language says that Law Enforcement agencies are encouraged to collect Sexual Assault kit evidence as soon as practical or within five days at the most and Law Enforcement is also encouraged to submit those kits to a crime lab.

I had no idea why they would go along with that. And from it is the lawyers. Doctor . I think as we look at the bigger picture, and the substances that are being used by athletes, we talked earlier about the supplement you can buy on the internet and in Health Food Stores that may or may not contain illegal substances. I think a lot of athletes that i talk with who have gotten caught in drug testing, they say that all i did was go to gnc and by a protein powder or a muscle product and i didnt know that it had anabolic steroids and and or whatever it was that broke the rule. I think there is some concern that this is the bigger issue in i think some athletes may be concerned that they are going to do the right thing, but also get caught doing something could be wrong. I think as we look at this,
