AFP: World anti-doping agency says 'lacks funding'

"With $25-30 million (20-24 million euros of funding) a year, WADA's budget is less than some European footballers earn," the organisation's director-general David Howman told a conference in Paris.

"The (Lance) Armstrong affair especially has shown that we're dealing with a more and more highly developed process, a real conspiracy, with unwarranted pressures on teams," he added, referring to the shamed US cyclist.

"WADA isn't in a position to tackle this type of sophisticated cheating."
