Opponents Of WADA Ruling To Reinstate Russia Guided By Politics More Than Sport -President

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th May, 2019) A number of National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADO) that have been criticizing the decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to reinstate Russia's national anti-doping body are more concerned about politics than clean sport, WADA President Sir Craig Reedie said Monday.

"I have to say a number of the NADOs were thinking entirely on a political basis and not a practical basis. We live in a political world and they are entitled to their views but my view is, that as President of the organization, is to see through the logic, sensible and legal way of doing this," Reedie said, as cited by InsidetheGames, at an event of SportAccord Summit in Australia.
