Arne Ljungqvist, vice president of WADA, did not provide details about the new process Sunday at a symposium in Tokyo on blood doping, saying its effectiveness needed to be verified. He said that if the new technique proved successful, it could be used much more widely than the existing system, which is expensive and complicated.
