The World Anti-Doping Agency has said that it was very alarmed by new accusations of mass doping that have plunged athletics into a deep crisis. WADA President Craig Reedie said the new claims would shake the foundation of athletes trying to stay clean. A German television channel and a British newspaper said they had been leaked a database belonging to athletics governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations, IAAF, with details of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 competitors which revealed extraordinary levels of doping. Reedie said at an International Olympic Committee meeting that the numbers involved and the extent of the use of blood doping had shocked him. He told reporters that these are wild allegations, wide allegations.
