Sport Integrity boss wants ‘zero tolerance’ on illicit drug use – Sydney Morning Herald
David Sharpe says sports codes must impose harsher penalties on their players if sanctions by WADA don’t go far enough.
Asked if codes such as the NRL should impose harsher penalties additional to WADA sanctions, Sharpe told the Herald: Definitely. I applaud the change in the WADA code. Athletes were clearly using cocaine in a recreational sense; it wasnt performance-enhancing. But this now pushes a lot onto the codes to really review the way theyve addressed this issue in the past.
Illicit drug use in sport needs to have zero tolerance. What are the codes doing around their messaging? Its got to be a partnership….
