Interview with the new WADA chief on BBC...

clicky

He does make one interesting point:
Do you understand why cycling has come to feel a bit persecuted?

I can understand that. But the onus to ensure that their sport is clean rests with their international federations and national bodies.

Our role is to be the peak body to carry the fight, to root out the cheats and deal with them. But we can't do that alone.

In terms of getting any sport to a standard that gives confidence to those who participate and the fans that follow that sport, it rests with the officials and organisations that run that sport. They're in the front line.

That's us knackered, if it's up to the organisation running the sport...

I'm a bit disappointed with his ambivalence towards non-cycling names in Puerto, though.
I was only joking when I said
