SIR CRAIG REEDIE RE-ELECTED WADA PRESIDENT
Montreal, November 22, 2016
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Foundation Board re-elected President, Sir Craig Reedie for a further three-year term at its meeting held in Glasgow, Scotland, four days after the ANOC general assembly in Doha.
Craig Reedie, who has been involved in the life and evolution of WADA since its creation in 1999, became the third president in 2013, after Canadian Dick Pound and Australian John Fahey.
Reedie is joined by the Agency’s new Vice President, Norwegian Sports Minister Linda Hofstand Helleland, who was announced as the governments’ choice following the passing of former Vice President, Rev Dr Makhenkesi Stofile in August 2016.
In Glasgow, the WADA Foundation Board – which is composed equally of the Olympic Movement and governments of the world – approved a series of recommendations ranging from compliance and governance to investigations and whistleblowing that, as the Agency itself stated, will equip it for the challenges ahead.
Most notably, the Foundation Board endorsed a graded sanctioning framework for non-compliance that was put forward by the independent Compliance Review Committee (CRC).
The next steps will involve further consultation and, once enacted, this framework will equip the anti-doping system with the ability to levy meaningful, predictable and proportionate sanctions in cases of non-compliance by anti-doping organizations (ADOs) with the World Anti-Doping Code (Code).
The next WADA Foundation Board meeting will be held next year in PyeongChang, South Korea.
