In the case of Russia, someone decided to speak out. Doping is always in advance of our technology to detect doping. At a certain point do we close our eyes on doping?

[Arbitration Society @ArbitrationScty]

Pound: each sport has to deal with the advancements unique to the sport when they come along.

McLaren: we found potentially 1000 atheltes in doping scandal. Only two federations have seriously pursued this information. Don't know what we will do when we get Russian data, and put it out to the federations, it could break the whole system. Too heavy a burden on the system.

[Arbitration Society @ArbitrationScty]

How do you see restoration of anti-doping fight in sport community?
Roberts: where a federation has enacted rules in support of clean athletes, and if there is collateral damage, they have said its consequence of process and they have upheld value of fair level playing field.
