"Okay, there has been shenanigans with doping-data in 2019 and we have admitted to it, BUT we hope that you forget that admission by the end of the article when we mention that our russian experts have determined that in 2016 it was the whistleblower who messed with the russian doping-database after defecting to the US."

"Okay, we got caught for manipulating doping-data, but WADA does not meet an impossibly high standard for transparency and independence, therefore they are not allowed to judge us."
