article: American Jack Robertson has become a fierce critic of the way the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and International Olympic Committee (IOC) have so far dealt with the crisis. Both organisations have defended their handling of the situation but Robertson has become increasingly frustrated. In a lengthy and revealing interview with David Epstein of the investigative journalism website ProPublica, he says he was forced to take matters into his own hands when it appeared his work was being hampered. "I was working 11 hours a day, sometimes 18 hours," said the 56-year-old, who was Wada's chief investigator until January 2016. "Once it was exposed in the media, then I got some manpower to do the investigation." Robertson also believes Wada and the IOC need new leadership. "The people I worked with at Wada were absolutely amazing, the best in the field," he said. "But it's my feeling they've been betrayed by their leadership. "I lost much of my voice to throat cancer, so I know a thing or two about cancer. And this is like cancer, if you don't get all of it, it can come back worse. "We've seen it in Fifa, you have to take out the boss, but you have to take out their henchmen, too, those who would follow them for their own careers. Everyone who supported them in their decisions has to go." Robertson has been an outspoken critic of Wada president Sir Craig Reedie, accusing the 75-year-old Scot of failing to take prompt and decisive action in the wake of the Russia revelations. Reedie, who is also a member of the IOC's executive committee and a former chairman of the British Olympic Association, has consistently defended his actions and those of Wada. Robertson is also critical of IOC president Thomas Bach, saying the German - a former Olympic fencing champion - has failed to protect the whistleblowers who helped expose Russian wrongdoing. Robertson is referring to Yuliya Stepanova, the Russian 800m runner whose testimony helped shed light on the scale of doping in Russian sport. She was set to compete under a neutral flag at the Rio Olympics only for the IOC to rule that the 30-year-old should not be allowed to take part as she had previously failed a doping test. Less than 36 hours before the official opening ceremony in Rio starts, the IOC is still working out which Russians should be allowed to compete following calls for the country to be kicked out of the Games completely. In the meantime, Reedie continues to say his organisation is doing what it can to crack down on the dopers and says there is a "lack of understanding about what Wada is all about". But Robertson says time is running out. "We can't just keep going from scandal to scandal," he said. "And if this scandal isn't enough to bring about change, then nothing ever will be." Wada's chief investigator until leaving the agency in January, he was responsible for exposing the state-sponsored doping programme in Russia that sent shockwaves across the sporting world. He also helped
