IAAF
president Lord Coe is expected to give evidence before Parliament next week
|
The IAAF has been accused
of trying to "muddy the waters" in the ongoing doping scandal by one
of the experts at the centre of the case. Michael Ashenden, one of two anti-doping
experts enlisted by the Sunday Times to analyze leaked data belonging to the
IAAF, has issued a response to the world governing body's statement, released
on Friday, in which it insisted it had used "every tool available to it to
catch blood dopers in athletics and with considerable success".
Ashenden
claimed the 38-page document, released ahead of Lord Coe's expected appearance
before Parliament's Culture Media and Sport Select Committee next week, failed
to answer the key questions. "The
IAAF has released a statement that comprises 25 pages of hair-splitting, plus
13 pages of appendices," his statement said.
