Science will prevail in doping firestorm: WADA chief (Reuters)

By Nick Mulvenney BEIJING (Reuters) – Science will ultimately put out the doping firestorm that has engulfed athletics in the run-up to the world championships, Craig Reedie, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), said on Friday. The governing body of athletics, the IAAF, has been in crisis since data from thousands of blood samples was leaked to two media organizations this month. Three weeks of further leaks and allegations that the IAAF has been soft on dopers have overshadowed the run-up to its biennial showpiece, which opens in Beijing with the men’s marathon on Saturday.
