Net closing around drug cheats, WADA says

The net is tightening around drug cheats thanks to improved detection processes and increasingly advanced laboratories, according to the World Anti-Doping Agency.

The global body's deputy director of doping control policy and development Rob Koehler, in Singapore for a Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (RADO) convention, told reporters that WADA was becoming ever more effective in winkling out the cheats.

"There is no crisis. WADA is still a young organisation, but since our formation seven years ago, we've gone leaps and bounds," he said.

"The detection processes are improving.The laboratories are more advanced now. The method of trafficking substances is also becoming clearer."
