There's another angle too.
At the same time, he points out that IOC specifically has that ICSS will only be interested in match-fixing, and not doping. Perhaps mission-creep will ensue? Don't think is "most threatening" IMO.
Leaks are inevitable wrote:
WADA should reward whistleblowers. There is an excellent program in Washington D.C. run by the Inland Revenue Service that gives the whistleblowers a percentage of the money saved by the American taxpayers due to their revelations. This could be discussed as a possible model in sports. If a whistleblower were to receive the prize money given to a doping athlete it would attack the trust within the community of doping athletes, coaches and doctors.
I think he means the Internal revenue service (USA IRS), but as WADA can't recover prize money from dopers (and organizers rather rarely), it is hard to see how it would work. The real prizes are from Nike et al., who are unlikely to adhere to such a scheme.
Why is WADA threatened? Someone has to explain this to me in small words.
WADA does exactly what the IOC and IFs planned. They set standards. The IFs apply the standards and enforce. Money rolls into the IFs. Everyone is happy.
That means doping is okay. Just bring the money and viewers.
Qatar?! You can kiss any problems goodbye with Aden. If he's backed by the Qatari governing body, there is not a single bit of chance that anything will be one of the Sabadell raid.
Thanks for posting this.

I shudder when I hear Qatari money is funding this. If you look carefully these same Qataris have funded Sunni terrorist groups that link to ISIS etc.

Why was it supposed to be secret? Methinks Dr. Hill is himself the "craven twit" and is looking for publicity, but wants to posture himself otherwise.
