“Information gathered by the independent WADA Intelligence and Investigation Department has given impetus to this investigation.

Our investigators were in close contact with both Austrian and Norwegian law enforcement and the IBU's External Review Board.

We are pleased that this work assisted the Commission in its investigation.

We remain committed to assisting law enforcement and the IBU in any way we can in the final part of this case.

We have before us another success of the WADA investigation team and its policy of cooperation with law enforcement agencies.

This shows once again that WADA will act without fear and do the right thing to cleanse the sport.

The accusations contained in this report are abhorrent to anyone concerned with sporting integrity.

The IBU is worthy of credit.

After this scandal, he took significant steps to improve the integrity of his anti-doping program, ”WADA's official website quoted Banka as saying.

Earlier, the head of the IBU spoke about the results of the investigation against his predecessor Besseberg.
