Even With Confession of Cheating, World’s Doping Watchdog Did Nothing: "WADA, the global regulator of doping in Olympic sports, did not begin an inquiry, even though a staff lawyer circulated the message to three top officials, calling the accusations “relatively precise,” including names and facts.

It sent Ms. Pishchalnikova’s email to Russian sports officials — the very people who she said were running the doping program."
