In a statement on the sidelines of the meetings of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), Koehler said there is no sign of cheating or manipulation against Anti-Doping Lab Qatar, but there are measures to be implemented by the Lab in sampling and analysis in order to meet international standards.
