Referring to the pre-drug testing era in MLB, a player can (and does often does) say "I never failed a drug test." To which a fan can accurately reply, "You never passed a drug test." It's hard to find meaning, much less 'proof,' in the fact that someone never fail a test that didn't exist much less was taken. I never lost an Olympics pole vaulting competition, which, trust me, doesn't make me an expert pole vaulter. I've also never lost an Indy 500 or a Miss Argentina pageant, failed the Harvard medical exams or lost a single round against James Jeffries.

"I couldn't have done it officer. At the time of the murder I was not losing the Russian National piano competition, and, as we all know, the Russian National violin competition takes place in Moscow."
