Doping-WADA chief Howman concerned about teenagers doping (Reuters)
Young athletes could be using performance-enhancing drugs as they try to make the breakthrough into elite sport, fears World Anti-Doping Agency director general David Howman. Howman also believes 10 percent of elite athletes could still be doping as WADA continues its efforts to weed out drugs cheats and those that supply them with illegal substances. Speaking to the BBC, Howman said: “The area of most concern for us is the level of young athletes who have not broken through into the elite who are trying to get that breakthrough and are susceptible to taking drugs because that’s a shortcut.
