LONDON (AP) — The man who headed the doping investigation that led to Russia’s suspension from global track and field sees little evidence that the country is doing enough to win reinstatement in time for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Former World Anti-Doping Agency president Dick Pound told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Russia is running out of time to clean up its drug-testing program in order for its athletes to able to compete at the games in August.
“There has been a lot of bluster and blanket denial and saying, ‘You are picking on Russia,’ that sort of thing,” Pound said.
