00:00WADA did its own scientific investigation. It consulted with multiple external scientific
00:04experts and the view of those experts was that this was a result which simply was not compatible
00:12even with microdosing with this substance. It was not a doping case. It had to be an inadvertent
00:17exposure. So the scientific result certainly and the evidence certainly confirmed what Mr
00:24Sinner's team was saying on the facts. But WADA went further and looked back at all of Mr Sinner's
00:30samples for the 12 months before the two positive samples in March, just to see where even if they
00:36weren't positive, they were obviously all reported as negative, whether there was any indication,
00:40any suspicion, even if it didn't meet the positivity criteria under our rules,
00:44that any of those samples contained the substance in question, which is Clostribol.
00:49And there was not a jot, there was nothing. And that involved multiple labs, different
00:55testing authorities, and the result was clear. So to answer your question, it might be a complex
01:01factual scenario, but it was well substantiated and the science ruled out any sort of doping scenario.
