Wada panel member mulling over role

LONDON • A highly respected British member of the World Anti-Doping Agency's athlete committee is questioning her future, after condemning the "spineless and appalling" decision not to issue a blanket ban on Russia from sport.

Retired Paralympian Victoria Aggar said allowing Russians to compete under a neutral flag at next year's Tokyo Olympics despite a four-year ban imposed on Monday made "a mockery of the system".

She also said she was wondering whether it was "worth associating myself with such a spineless organisation".
