MONTREAL (AP) — The president of the World Anti-Doping Agency is defending the organization following a strong attack by the head of Britain’s Olympic committee.
WADA President John Fahey says he was disappointed to read the comments made by British Olympic Association chairman Colin Moynihan in a speech to international federations.
Moynihan accused WADA of failing to catch the world’s biggest drug cheats and dragging the doping fight into a “dark age.”
In a statement to The Associated Press, Fahey says “it is disappointing to read the BOA President’s comments, some of which are misinformed and inaccurate.”
Fahey says many of the issues raised by Moynihan “have been addressed by WADA stakeholders in the last code review or by WADA in its present activities.”
