Specifically, the IC will address allegations raised in the documentary titled ‘Doping – Top Secret: The Shadowy World of Athletics’, which alleged that ARD and The Sunday Times had obtained a leaked database, belonging to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), containing more than 12,000 blood tests from around 5,000 athletes in the years 2001 to 2012. The Report will also include the IC’s findings on conduct that may be of a criminal nature as well as contrary to World Anti-Doping Code rules.
The IC Report, Part 2 will also be made public via WADA’s website at the start of the Press Conference.
Mr. Pound, who was the Founding President of WADA, will be joined by fellow IC members Professor Richard H. McLaren and Günter Younger.
