Australia’s sport minister has called on the World Anti-Doping Agency to prioritise its review of EPO testing to remove ambiguity for athletes, after Olympian Peter Bol was sensationally cleared.

When the runner was drug tested 26 times in one year, he thought it was excessive, but it wasn’t until airport security took his phone and laptop that he connected the dots.

Athletics Australia’s president and chief executive have rejected calls by Peter Bol’s coach for CEO Peter Bromley to stand down pending an inquiry into the leaking of the Australian athlete’s provisional doping ban.

When world history was made in Austria last month, four Australian distance runners played a small but consequential part.
