Dick Pound stepping down as president of WADA with no regrets, plenty of hope

6 hours ago

Dick Pound has ruffled more than a few feathers during his eight-year term as president of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Criticized for being confrontational and uncompromising in the battle against performance-enhancing drugs, the Montreal lawyer makes no apologies for the methods he used to fight cheaters in sport.

"I think in order to do the job I'm doing properly you have to be confrontational," Pound told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. "You are dealing with systematic, organized cheating. You have to find them out and confront them and embarrass them and do whatever you can to bring attention to them."

Then he'll only be worth R13.63.

I though someone wanted to loose a pound, and the pound gave up and left eerrr...her!!!

So... during his eight year term did he make any progress with the methods he used or maybe just expose the problem more?

I think Dick Pound did a great job, with little assistance from the sporting bodies who did everything they could to withold as much information and make life as difficult as possible for WADA, he had the "cahoonies" to stand his ground, state his case in no uncertain terms and shamed many an athlete who tried to beat the system.

 

Did they mention who is in line to take over his position HR?

Hmmm. They should offer the job to Shawn Lynch. He's the only person smart enough to think 10steps ahead of the doping procedure's...he'd get my vote anyway.
