Well there's two problems, first is journals refusing to publish anything that conflicts with previous publications (a despicable practice that goes against the most fundamental principles of science that include curiosity and the willingness to be wrong and change, see also [1]), second is a reasonable expectation to get a response from the original authors when asked about a failure to replicate (even in the mode of "you're stupid and did it wrong").
