"The Senegalese players left Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat just 35 minutes after the awards ceremony. That is insufficient time for players to complete doping procedures. I have sources close to the matter in Brussels who have contacted both CAF and WADA, but we have received no response so far." He further noted, "Suspicions are mounting that the Senegalese players evaded doping tests. I also have information regarding internal crises within the Senegalese Football Federation."
