Richard McLaren, the Canadian lawyer whose 2016 bombshell report exposed state-sponsored doping in Russia, suspects "hundreds" of doping cases could be contained in the latest data retrieved from Moscow.
On Thursday, WADA said they had "successfully retrieved" data from the Moscow laboratory at the heart of the affair.
"It's pretty much anyone's guess as to what that number is," McLaren said when asked how many doping cases he expected the new data to reveal.
"My thinking would be in the 300-600 possible range."
"That got resolved over the Christmas period and now they are preparing to provide the information and are in the process of doing so."
