Norwegian politician Linda Helleland has formally launched her campaign to replace Sir Craig Reedie as the next President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) vice-president Linda Helleland insists she retains the support of the Norwegian Government in her bid to succeed Sir Craig Reedie as President and can continue her campaign despite losing her cabinet position.

Calls for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to re-issue Russia's ban immediately have now come from the organisation's own Athlete Committee and vice-president as the backlash over the Russian Anti-Doping Agency's (RUSADA) missed deadline continues.
It is little wonder the campaign for President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has already begun in earnest.
In many ways, it was fitting the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) held its biannual Foundation Board meeting in a country dubbed the "land of fire".
A controversial proposal for any public authorities’ candidate for President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to be at least 45 years old is set to be scrapped and will not feature in the full document put to the Foundation Board here.

A proposal made by the African Union of public authority representatives within the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has called for their candidate for President to be at least 45 years old in a move interpreted as an attempt to block Linda Helleland from standing.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has failed to protect the integrity of sport by reinstating Russia and the decision "casts a dark shadow over the credibility" of the organisation, vice-president Linda Helleland has admitted.
You do not need to look particularly hard to find comments from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) leadership which express how crucial sticking to the original roadmap on Russian reinstatement is for the future credibility and integrity of the organisation.
At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Iranian judoka Arash Miresmaeili was disqualified for weighing in at nearly four pounds above the limit for his weight class of his under-66 kilograms match against an Israeli opponent Ehud Vaks in the first round. It was claimed Miresmaeili had gone on an eating binge to protest the International Olympic Committee's recognition of the state of Israel. Iran does not recognise the state of Israel, and Miresmaeili's actions won praise from high-ranking Iranian officials. Mohammad Khatami, the country's President at the time, was quoted as saying Miresmaili's actions would be "recorded in the history of Iranian glories". He was later awarded $125,000 by the Government - the same amount given to Olympic gold medallists.
