"Meeting last week [March 2003] in Copenhagen, the World Anti-Doping Agency passed the first global anti-doping code. It could ultimately mark a turning point in the campaign to stop the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the Olympics and other sporting events. Unclear, however, is whether the code will have a far-reaching impact in the United States." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) In this article Canadian Richard W. Pound, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency and a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and Craig A. Masback, chief executive of USA Track and Field, debate U.S. policies, noting disputes in recent years over drug test results.
