U.S. officials, experts urge Senate subcommittee to keep pressure on World Anti-Doping Agency .

WADA says hearing is a distraction orchestrated by WADA CEO Travis Tygart .

Hearing was in support of a bill that would allow the White House to restrict funding from an international agency.

The panel was uniformly critical of WADA , as are members of Congress who have addressed the issue.

WADA officials say if they had appealed the cases to the Court of Arbitration for Sport , the ultimate authority in the anti-doping world, it would have lost.

"To suggest without evidence that these athletes from China have cheated is factually wrong and deeply unfair," WADA says.
