"Katir – also a world 1,500 metres bronze medallist – was found to have falsified travel documents (namely a travel Itinerary, boarding pass and booking confirmation) in an attempt to mislead investigators as they probed the veracity of his explanation for a Whereabouts Failure"

"...the quantity of dollars involved is dwarfed by the resources available to those determined to cheat, and to wriggle off the hook should they fail a drugs test. Not to mention the connivance of those sports leaders complicit in cover-ups." https://t.co/VFMBK54WP4

It is amazing that someone with such a chequered doping history as Dennis Mitchell is still such an accepted figure in athletics https://t.co/Fpq6btoy3u

Applications have opened for WADA Presidential/VP elections next year. IOC have come straight out and backed (widely criticised) incumbents before anyone else has even announced plans to run. Democracy sport style https://t.co/Z469hYLe9m https://t.co/K1RcKC4QIp

Classic attack anyone who speaks out approach here from Andy Roddick. Typical of the omerta still prevalent in many sports over doping. And...in a general sense trace amounts can be indicative of micro dosing/long term use so cannot be automatically dismissed as non-beneficial

Andy Roddick sensationally vilifies any player that dare speak up over the handling of the Swiatek drugs case in his podcast and questions their work ethic; disrespectful to a number of players; @NickKyrgios @biahaddad1 @Simona_Halep @KYevgeni @richardgasquet1 @TaraMoore92 https://t.co/4soCYA3m1P

Big question here is why WADA did not mention these previously expressed concerns about trimetazidine use in China after the 23 swimmers case became publicised. Instead they seemed to completely accept Chinese report conclusion that the substance was not a problem in China.

Global Athlete @GlobalAthleteHQ

"The decision by the agency’s leaders to keep its own investigators in the dark raises new questions about WADA’s response to repeated incidents of possible doping by Chinese athletes." @tariqpanja @nytmike @nytimes https://t.co/9ZhVv50hVF

Excellent article about the connections between sport, in this case cricket, and politics/economics/international relations https://t.co/RK6nWYeO8j

This is completely unprofessional for the person in charge of anti-doping worldwide

Edmund Willison @honestsport_ew

"IGA - Incredible, Genius, Amazing 😉Bravo" Just the five tweets from the WADA president Witold Banka 🇵🇱 praising Iga Swiatek over the years. WADA now has right of appeal. Better for anti-doping officials to keep it neutral. You never know what's around the corner. https://t.co/ClBqRzdLFD
