[SIZE=-1]New York Times, United States - 19 minutes ago[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The Olympic sports gymnastics, wrestling, volleyball, handball and modern pentathlon were cited by the World Anti-Doping Agency for failing to have consistent out-of-competition testing programs. The findings were submitted in a report to the agencys executive committee and foundation board last weekend in Montreal. The report has been published on the agencys Web site: wada-ama.org.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Although sports that fail to apply the agencys antidoping code risk being banned from the Olympics, WADA has extended the deadline for six months to give federations and national antidoping agencies more time to comply. WADA has no power to punish noncompliant groups, leaving that to the International Olympic Committee. Under I.O.C. rules, sports that do not apply the doping code face expulsion from the Olympics.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The International Volleyball Federation issued a statement Friday saying that it had met WADAs demands to improve out-of-competition testing and had been removed from the noncompliance list. Modern pentathlons governing body said it also had met WADAs requests [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]...[/SIZE]
