Before the end of his tenure as Wada president, Sir Craig Reedie announced a probe into those athletes to have worked with Alberto Salazar, which he said would include finding “samples we can retest”.
Ukad refused a request to hand over those it held for Farah during the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s investigation into Salazar, who has lodged an appeal against the four-year ban he was handed in October for doping offences.
Asked whether Wada had the power to seize Farah’s samples, Sapstead replied: “My view is any sample that is collected by UK Anti-Doping is the possession of UK Anti-Doping.”
