Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to:
- Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl
- Modus tollens, a logical proof
- Proof of impossibility, mathematics
- Unfair burden, in law, a plaintiff need not prove a negative about a defendant
- Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove
- Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy.
Where did you see a word proof in the post quoted? If you read my post you'll see such words as "opinion", "general suspicion". There is as possible to prove that Stevens or Tocchet doped as it does for Krutov. It still ok to mention him though.
