New hope for masters caught in doping dragnet
The Los Angeles Times telegraphed the news a few days ago, but now it’s official: The World Anti-Doping Agency (and therefore the IAAF and WMA) is revisiting its draconian drug war. A war on innocent athletes more than cheats. If the new rules take effect next year, let’s hope they grandfather in for masters like Neil Griffin, whose fight against a doping suspension continues. (Of course, WMA could chuck the overreaching drug rules now if it wanted. It just chooses to kiss IAAF butt instead.)
