Putin calls for independent public commission to handle doping issue
Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged the creation of an independent commission, with the inclusion of foreign experts, to address problems with the anti-doping system in Russian sports.
“There is no place and can never be a place for any doping in sports,” the Russian president said, telling Russia’s Olympic Committee to work closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Putin proposed veteran sports official and former IOC vice president Vitaly Smirnov as the head of the independent commission.
