Were I your editor, I would have hedged it a bit with "has stated that..." since we don't really know whether it is a present tense desire (the trial strategy argues against that), and I'd be skeptical of extrapolating the wounded, high pressure blood message to the present day. Nevertheless, I appreciate the citation.
