IOC Vice-President: ‘I’m on the side of WADA’

Sir Craig Reedie is both President of the World Anti-Doping Agency and Vice-President of the International Olympic Committee.

Speaking to 5 live’s Stephen Nolan, he explained he had been excused from the last two IOC board meetings due to the conflict of interest.

“If you have a conflict of interest you have to make up your mind what side you’re on,” he said.

“Had I been in that meeting I would have made the World Anti-Doping Agency point.”

The World Anti-Doping Agency is "disappointed" their recommendation to ban Russia from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games has been rejected by the IOC.
