Investigator says Chinese doping case handled ‘reasonably’ but underscores WADA’s lack of action

Quick Summary:

AN investigator gave the World Anti-Doping Agency a pass on its handling of the inflammatory case involving Chinese swimmers, but not without hammering away at the "curious" nature of WADA's "silence" after examining Chinese actions that did not follow rules designed to safeguard global sports.

Cottier expanded on doubts WADA’s own chief scientist, Olivier Rabin, had expressed over the Chinese contamination theory — snippets of which were introduced in the interim report.

One of the chief complaints over the handling of this case was that neither WADA nor the Chinese gave any public notice upon learning of the positive tests for the banned heart medication Trimetazidine, known as TMZ.
