World Anti-Doping Agency president Sir Craig Reedie has insisted sport can recover from a "dreadful" period. The 75-year-old Scot was re-elected unopposed by Wada’s 38-strong foundation board in Glasgow, despite concerns expressed by a number of Olympic delegates over Wada’s call for a blanket ban on all Russian athletes competing at Rio 2016. Reedie had received the support of the International Olympic Committee early this month but doubts were raised during this week’s annual gathering of the Association of National Olympic Committees in Doha. Reedie and Wada have been accused of blighting the build-up to the Rio Games by their handling of the doping allegations, in particular in favouring a stronger stance on Russia than the one ultimately adopted by the IOC. The second part of the Wada-sponsored report into alleged doping improprieties by the Canadian legal expert Richard McLaren is set to be released in December and is expected to provide more damning details of Russian cheating. The ANOC president, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, one of the most powerful administrators in world sport, gave voice to this embarrassment, telling delegates that reform of the anti-doping system would be impossible without “a neutral chair” of Wada and even suggested the agency should be moved from Montreal to Geneva, closer to the headquarters of most Olympic sports.
Craig Reedie is elected for a second term as President of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
