Members of the Diack clan and their accomplices, of course, called snakes and toads the World Anti-Doping Agency, which, fulfilling its mission, denied all their crimes and began litigation.

A large-scale international legal trial finally ended in Paris; The World Anti-Doping Agency is also pleased with this outcome, as it was a very long and difficult process.

I’m glad to read that Witold Banka, President of WADA, visited Hungary recently It is also believed that clean sport won in Paris. The head of the organization also stated that in 2015 it was the information that WADA shared with the relevant authorities that helped hold the offenders to account – the Hungarian expert, who made a presentation to the senior representatives of Hungarian swimming on Saturday, and called on the participants’ interest in strict compliance with the regulations, emphasized, As well as the fact that the efficiency of inspections and analysis is at a higher level every year.
