The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reported instances of loss, distortion, or inaccuracy of data related to 2,000 cases and over 900 doping tests, which were identified just weeks before the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported by the New York Times.

Details: According to the source, due to these issues, the agency lost the ability to accurately determine which cases needed to be monitored, leading lawyers to question whether the agency's staff were managing athlete cases correctly.

These accusations prompted the agency to issue a statement regarding the article published in the New York Times.

Quote: "Contrary to the claims, technical failures did not negatively impact the Olympics in Paris. All information has always been available, and data related to athletes heading to the Games has been properly verified by WADA.

As for the New York Times, instead of providing an objective account of the facts, the newspaper once again succumbed to the influence of questionable sources attempting to undermine our reputation," the agency stated.
