UKAD Recognizes Importance of McLaren Report in Keeping Sport Clean
The UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) said Monday it recognized the importance of a WADA-commissioned report into Russian doping and urged to take steps to guarantee a fair competition.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — An independent commission led by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren on Monday presented its findings on what it claimed was a Russian state-sponsored doping program.
"UKAD recognises the importance of the McLaren Report for international sport," UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead said in a statement on the agency’s website.
Sapstead said now was the time to take legislative and other steps to protect the rights of clean athletes to an honest competition.
"We have an obligation to help safeguard clean athletes around the globe by working closely with international partners to support the development of robust anti-doping practices in countries where these are weak," she continued.
Valentin Balakhnichev, the former head of All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF), denied the conclusions of McLaren report as absurd, saying Russian sport was "impeccably" clean.
