Where did the Reedie quote come from? The original article appears to have come from The Scotsman and reads:
`Sir Craig Reedie believes that the International Olympic Committee is on the way to raising a fighting fund of $14 million (£8.8m) for the war on doping.
The former chairman of the British Olympic Association now sits on the IOC's executive board and says greater financial resources are pivotal to beating the drug cheats.
Reedie said the IOC's German president Thomas Bach had produced two $10m funds (£6m) designed to deal with doping matters and manipulation or match-fixing in sport, but he expects those figures to be surpassed after pledges of financial support from individual nations.
The 73-year-old Scot said Turkey's cheque had already been cashed by the IOC and he believes other pledges will soon turn into hard cash for their special anti-doping reserve fund.
"Turkey's money is in the bank and we have guarantees from China, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Ivory Coast and New Zealand," Reedie said. "I'm also sure Japan and Korea will commit so I'm hopeful we might raise $5-6m which means we'll get $5-6m guaranteed by the IOC.
"There's a lot of very advanced thinking out there using technology against doping and, hopefully, we can use that. Would that work? I don't know, but if we have a fund of $12-14m we could have quite expensive research.
"I'm looking for the scientist who says we don't have to test for urine or blood any more and has got a much better idea. You know that machine you go through at the airport which says you've got a gun. Well, could someone say we've got that technology to show the last time an athlete took a dose of steroids? I don't know that answer but what we do need is to think outside the box and something easier would be helpful."
Reedie says there is a fierce determination among athletes to clean up sport but admits the IOC needs more assistance from governments around the world. He believes great strides have been taken in this area by UNESCO's anti-doping convention which 100 countries signed up to and will seek nations to implement drug legislation, particularly on illegal substances.
"When we were looking at the terms of the new [IOC anti-doping] code in Johannesburg there were absolutely outstanding contributions from leading athletes," Reedie said. "They all said: 'Please, please increase the sanctions, we do not want unclean athletes competing'.
"They thought it was great that we're protecting the clean athlete and I think that philosophy is right.
"But governments must have the will to tackle the problem and introduce legislation. Unfortunately it's not a high enough priority for them and one of the toughest jobs I have is to [get them to] take it seriously."'
