Jack Robertson, a former chief investigator for the World Anti-Doping Agency, assertively stated that WADA is "broken beyond repair," criticising their lack of action against elite Chinese swimmers who tested positive for banned substances. He claimed that WADA's response indicated it must be completely restructured to ensure true independence, describing the agency's actions as having moved from "enforcer to appeaser." Robertson emphasized that to restore its original purpose, WADA needs a new, uncorrupted structure, free from current mismanagement.
During his critique, Robertson pointed out the hypocrisy in WADA's accusations towards the United States Anti-Doping Agency, arguing that WADA misrepresented their handling of a complex doping case. He described WADA's demeanor throughout the controversy as misleading and damaging, stating it needed to address the degradation of its reputation in the realm of international athletics. This is indicative of WADA's broader inability to effectively manage doping violation issues, particularly amidst mounting evidence and public scrutiny.
