Particulary interesting to me is the fact that the initial mass screening did not find the perpetrator, because he had paid somebody to give a sample for him. But he was eventually caught because the stand-in couldn't (or didn't want to) keep a secret.

Wikipedia mentions no controversy, although of course that doesn't mean there wasn't one.
