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.

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.
