Other factors about Paul's blood - like the presence of prescription drugs that none of his doctors remember prescribing for him, and high levels of carbon monoxide that nobody can account for - have some observers questioning the reliability of the tests. The legal team representing Dodi's dad, Mohamed Al Fayed, are claiming that the blood tested wasn't even Paul's, which Baker responded to - but not really - when he said that DNA tests "appear" to show that...
