Dick Pound and WADA

Dick Pound draws blood, ripping professional baseball on its drug testing program. Top section from tomorrow's NYT from a story out of Madrid, where doping experts are meeting: After years of criticizing Major League Baseball for what he called useless, toothless drug-testing policies, Dick Pound, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, chastised the sport again Friday, saying that Barry Bonds’s indictment on perjury charges confirmed that the league’s doping problems were “out of control. The professional leagues have consistently denied they are cheating their public and putting their athletes at risk by saying there is no problem, there is no drug use,” Pound said. “When forced to acknowledge that there is, and these investigations are starting to show that it is really widespread, they are turning the other way. We’ve seen this before, in cycling, and we all know what happened to that sport — it nearly destroyed itself.” Here is story in L.A. Times on Pound's comments
