TOKYO (Reuters) - The discovery of inconsistencies in the historical data handed over by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) was a disappointment not an embarrassment for the World Anti-Doping Agency, president Craig Reedie told Reuters on Monday.

WADA said on Monday it had opened compliance proceedings against RUSADA after examining the 24 terabytes of historical testing data from a Moscow laboratory which it received in January.
