Monaco - The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which historically has been at the forefront of the fight against doping in world sport, has today published a video interview and transcript with one of the world’s leading campaigners in this area.  
 
This ground-breaking initiative has been undertaken to better explain the fundamental structures and ethos behind the IAAF’s world-leading anti-doping programme.

IAAF Council Member Abby Hoffman, who is a long-standing member of the IAAF Medical and Anti-Doping Commission, took time out during the recent IAAF World Junior Championships, Oregon 2014 to give an exclusive interview in which she answered many of the key questions concerning the IAAF anti-doping programme.


A former international athlete, Hoffman competed at four Olympic Games and reached the finals of the 800m in 1968 and 1972. She won Commonwealth gold in 1966 and twice won the Pan-American title. After retiring from competition in the 1970s, Hoffman has been heavily involved in building Canada’s anti-doping structure and has become a passionate authority on anti-doping internationally.  
 
Last November on behalf of IAAF President Lamine Diack, Hoffman delivered a strong statement about the IAAF’s view of the new WADA code to the 2013 World Conference on Doping in Sport, organised by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in Johannesburg.

“I've always been conscious of the fact that, no matter how few people do it, doping undermines the integrity of the sport,” she said. “It makes sport a miserable place for those who abide by the rules.

“As an international sporting body, the biggest focus for the IAAF is on our testing programme. We have one of the most – if not the most – comprehensive programmes in the world.”
