Another doping, blowing of an "old whistle", again on Gernam TV.

Doesn't leave a lot of time left, for any form of investigation, if found to be warranted.

The IAAF gets another mention but we can all relax, because the IOC are at arm's length, but patiently waiting on WADA to independently and thoroughly investigate this in a timely manner!

The system is certainly working well!!

Wada is accused of sitting on mass China doping claims for five years

"The World Anti-Doping Agency has come under fire for taking five years to begin investigating allegations of systematic doping in China that were first made by a whistleblower in 2012.

On Sunday the Chinese doctor Xue Yinxian told the German broadcaster ARD that more than 10,000 Chinese athletes had used banned substances during the 1980s and 90s, including every medal winner in every major championships – claims that Wada has now referred to its intelligence unit for scrutiny.
...

Renee-Anne Shirley, the former head of Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission, wrote on Twitter: “Dr Xue made these accusations in 2012 but Wada did nothing about them then. Guess they only move when ARD TV does a documentary?”

Shirley also criticised the International Association of Athletics Federations, for what she called its “wimpy” response to a letter published in February from Chinese athletes linked to the controversial track coach Ma Junren, whose athletes broke 66 national and world records, which said they had been forced to take performance-enhancing drugs.
...

The International Olympic Committee confirmed it was aware of Wada’s investigation into the claims. A spokesperson said: “The World Anti-Doping Agency is looking into the allegations – this is their role.”
