5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

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. This clip is from 5 live Stephen Nolan on Sunday 24 July 2016
