The number of results provided by Novak Djokovic for the exemption from the vaccination requirement required by Australia is by no means among the serial numbers of the tests conducted in Serbia around December 16. His negative test on December 22nd has a lower serial number than his previous test in theory.
In the end, the tennis player was not granted the visa, so he could not participate in the Austral Open, but the anomaly in the test numbers did not justify this, according to the BBC. Article – Commodity.
The Germans noticed the strangeness
The strangeness was first noticed by a German research team called Zerforschung, and a blog post about their discovery in time travel PCR tests was written by Novak Djokovic. Together with Der Spiegel, a description of the case was also published in a German newspaper.
However, documents submitted to the Australian authorities also include a document
The head of the official health authority of Serbia confirms that the dates of the tests are mentioned correctly
on the results.
The tests were conducted by Novak Djokovic in Serbia: each test has a unique identification code. The BBC is trying to see if the increasing number of numbers indicates a chronological order: if this is the case, it calls into question the validity of the higher-numbered test.
Dozens of tests have been tested
This was done using the serial numbers of 21 tests conducted by BBC staff in Serbia, and the serial numbers of 35 additional test results from Milovan Sovakov, a US-based data researcher who posted his results on Twitter. They also sent it to the BBC in PDF format.
Regarding the serial numbers of the tests, it was noted that they are proportional to the chronological order: the lower the serial number, the earlier the test was performed.
Only Djokovic’s score is hanging off the line
– They have other test results held on December 16th that fit.
Based on the test serial number, which Djokovic named on December 16, it is very similar to December 25-28. Fits between tests performed between: This would have been explained if it had been taken in this time period.
Djokovic and the Serbian authorities are silent
The BBC article also notes that they are aware that two different tests were done by two different labs, so it would theoretically be possible for Djokovic to get a higher serial number on December 16, chosen from the serial numbers previously assigned to each lab. On the contrary, they also have two test results in their possession that were taken two and four days after December 16 in the same laboratory where Djokovic tested positive. Their number is less.
In addition, the results examined by the BBC came from eight different laboratories, yet they can be categorized chronologically by their serial numbers.
The BBC wanted both Serbian authorities and Djokovic to be suspended, but neither side did.
