David Douillet wants legal action against athletes

Krakow, 13/10/2011 (Agence Europe) - On the fringes of the EU Sports Council on Thursday 13 October, French Sports Minister David Douillet called on European ministers to make it a crime for athletes to take drugs to enhance their performance, calling such people crooks and thieves, stealing the careers of honest athletes. He said that making cheating at sport a crime is being examined in the sports world where athletes complain that not enough is being done to tackle doping. (VW/transl.fl)
