GENEVA — The World Anti-Doping Agency has been heavily criticized this week for its secretive oversight of positive tests by 23 Chinese swimmers before the Tokyo Olympics. Now the agency has appointed a veteran Swiss prosecutor to review how it handled the case in 2021. Prosecutor Eric Cottier was attorney general for 17 years until December 2022 of Vaud.

He should report to WADA within two months. The Paris Olympics open July 26.
