That is incorrect. Jacques Benveniste invited Randi to review his
homeopathic experiments. See:

QUOTE:

". . . The team pored over the laboratory's records and oversaw seven
attempts to replicate Benveniste's study. Three of the first four attempts
turned out somewhat favorable to Benveniste; however the Nature team was
not satisfied with the rigor of the methodology. Benveniste invited them to
design a double blind procedure, which they did, and conducted three more
attempts. Before fully revealing the results, the team asked if there were
any complaints about the procedure, but none were brought up.[citation

Benveniste and others disputed that last statement.
