Statement on White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Report on
World Anti-Doping Agency
Jim Walden comments on ONDCP report revealed by the Washington Post today
“The White House deserves applause for this rigorous report that quantifies the deep problems with international sports governance that make the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping act a necessity. This report reveals that WADA is at a minimum incompetent when dealing with serious, endemic corruption, and that it disregards even its own investigators to protect its bottom line. The Executive and Legislative branches are clearly of one voice on this issue. This desperately needed legislation will finally give the Department of Justice the license to do the job of protecting clean athletes and U.S. interests that WADA has failed at for decades.”
Jim Walden, lawyer for Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov
