London: More than 100 athletes have been barred from taking part in the London Olympics on the charges of doping, World Anti-Doping Agency President John Fahey said.
He said that through mid-June at least 107 athletes drew doping bans, ruling them out of the games. Fahey added that not all would have qualified to compete in London, The Associated Press reported. “I am pleased to say that they are not with us.”
Fahey told IOC members that intelligence was shared by WADA, sports federations and London organizers to target athletes under suspicion.
Fahey said athletes who dope should know that “their chances of avoiding detection are the smallest they have ever been.”
