CyclingNews on Dick Pound’s Fresh Air Interview

I mentioned the other day that Dick Pound had been on Fresh Air - you can read CyclingNews’ take on the interview here.

When asked why he helped form WADA, Pound said, “Nobody trusts the individual sports to go after their riders or players, and nobody trusts particular countries to be hard on their own athletes if they catch them doping and nobody trusts the IOC anymore. We needed an independent agency not controlled by any of these stakeholders to kind of take charge of this on a world level.”

It’s nice to know Pound doesn’t have a God complex, or anything.
