The samples should be immediately re-examined by an organization that has nothing to do with WADA,” they wrote. They continued like this:
If these reports are true and WADA refuses to release the information publicly, then this scandal is yet another catastrophic failure of the international anti-doping system. In this case, WADA’s operation should be placed on a completely new basis.”
