The Shake Up - What it means for doping procedures
Phil Mansfield draws on his experience in cycling to make comparisons to the CrossFit doping procedures.
“I have huge amount of respect for how difficult the job is.
Have they got the balance right in its current format? My instinct is not quite. There’s work to be done but it might just be an evolutionary progress and it’s a new system. The experiences I’ve had of the doping policy, so far, coming from a very strict cycling background.
