Hey Richard.
Do you think that it will ever be possible to get rid of doping?
And if yes, how can that be possible?
Best regards Troels

Hey Richard
Should known-doping-users be forced to reveal who supplied them with the drugs? and give names of other users, that they might know about?

To which extend, if any, will WADA try to take over the out of competition testing from the national organisations.
This question is related to a doubt about whether national interests could hinder the effort put in to the testing and whether the methods in testing could be stream lined enough when controlled on a national level.

Hi Richard,
I heard Sunday Jörg Jaksche say, that it would be right in the future for WADA to do all out-of-competion testing in cycling, since the national organisations are not able to do it - at least in eastern europe. What’s your point to the proposal fra Jaksche?
Furthermore - Jaksche also voiced the proposal of pre-samples - i.e. that athletes give tests, that can be used three or four years later, when scientists are able to trace the newest doping. What’s your reaction to the proposal?

Hi Richard.
There has not been to many cases on doping in Football. It is hard to believe that this is due to only good anti-doping work. In a sport where you can earn millions even in a medium good league, you should think the temptation of doping is present?
What do you think of the anti-doping work done by the football authorities?
