WADA boss has kudos for China

Nation's pioneering efforts to battle doping hailed as a model for the world

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president Craig Reedie heaped praise on China's efforts to tackle performance-enhancing drugs in sport during a major conference on the issue in Beijing.

"You have the advantage of many people who are prepared to help. You also have the advantage of political leadership, which has a very strong anti-doping philosophy," said Reedie after the first session of the CHINADA International Anti-Doping Symposium concluded on Wednesday.
