There was much more on Doll in recent usenet thread, which includes the original devastating investigative report by the UK legal group Injurywatch. The stuff in the mass media is merely an attempt of damage control. Doll was shown to be complete scientific fraud, a master of blame-the-victim pseudo-science on behalf of whoever happened to be paying him at the moment. A real life Dr. Faustus. Incidentally, he is the guy who started the whole antismoking pseudoscience in 1950s (on behalf of UK & US governments).
