Sotnikova doping samples, not enough evidence of regulatory violations," WADA officially responds to KADA request for re-investigation

"We cannot find enough evidence in Sotnikova's doping test samples that violated anti-doping regulations."
The Korea Anti-Doping Committee (KADA, Chairman Lee Young-hee), which requested a reinvestigation of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics figure skating gold medalist Sotnikova (Russia), released a reply from the World Anti-Doping Organization (WADA) on the 23rd. On the 28th, KADA said, "As a result of an internal review of WADA on the 21st of last month, we received a reply that there was not enough evidence to prove that the player violated anti-doping regulations."
He also explained, "As a result of WADA's joint investigation with the IOC Disciplinary Committee in 2018, there were horizontal scratches inside the lid of the player's sample bottle, but the scratches could also occur in the process of opening and closing."
Meanwhile, KADA does not have the authority to supervise, collect samples, and manage the results of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics doping test in connection with what Sotnikova mentioned on YouTube in March, but requested WADA to reinvestigate the case. According to WADA's McLaren report in 2016, the scratch on Sotnikova's sample bottle is highly likely to be manipulated, and Korean athletes' fair competition and rights must be protected. The request for a thorough investigation by WADA before the expiration of the statute of limitations (within 10 years).
Meanwhile, KADA Chairman Lee Young-hee said, "KADA will continue to do its best as a national anti-doping organization so that players who are on the side of clean players from doping and strive for fair competition in any case will not be harmed." https://www.totositenet.com/
