WADA seeks stakeholder feedback on Working Group Report

WADA seeks stakeholder feedback on Working Group Report: Lack of Effectiveness of Testing Programs

http://playtrue.wada-ama.org/news/w...rt-lack-of-effectiveness-of-testing-programs/

The report is linked in the article.

The first paragraph of the exec summary reads

WADA must continue to perform its responsibilities as the designated leader,
coordinator and monitor of the fight against doping in sport and must be able and willing to carry out its activities and to point out cases of non-compliance. Should it be incorrect in any matter of non-compliance, there are appeal mechanisms available to any stakeholder so identified. While recognizing that testing is only part of a successful fight against doping, it is nevertheless an important element in that fight and should be as effective as possible. To date,testing has not proven to be particularly effective in detecting dopers/cheats.

(my bold for emphasis)


Not that this is news to any of the regulars here, but the report does make interesting reading.

Whilst WADA are trying to be more effective , the IOC are excluding them from important opportunities to get this message across !

IOC report released recently shows their attitude to " Anti Doping "!

Guess who were on the guest list ?

Got it in ONE !
phat the rat

nein fordruggen

Guess who was excluded ?

right again !

WADA

So those that wander around with their eyes closed and with hands in pocket are welcomed by the IOC , but those charged with making the work of PHARMACISTS more difficult , they get the bums rush !

Jacques Rogge leaves the IOC Presidency , later this year , will he be remembered as an advocate for cLEAN Sport ?

BIG FAIL from me !
