IPC chief eyes clean Games
BEIJING, Sept 6: International Paralympic chief Philip Craven said he was hoping for a “totally clean” event ahead of the opening of the 2008 Games here Saturday.
Like the Olympics, past Paralympic Games have been blighted by drugs scandals and there will be a focus in Beijing on stamping out any cheating.
“There’s no point in my saying there hasn’t been a problem, but we have worked very hard over the last four years - both from a testing point of view and also from an education point of view - and we’re very hopeful for good results,” IPC President Craven said.
In the 2004 Athens Paralympics, 680 doping tests were conducted, resulting in ten anti-doping rule violations.—AFP
