Olympics doping body distances itself from microchips for athletes suggestion

The World Olympians Association (WOA) has distanced itself from comments made by its chief executive Mike Miller on Tuesday when he suggested athletes could be fitted with microchips to tackle doping.

In a statement, WOA president Joel Bouzou said his organisation, which claims to represent 120,000 living Olympians around the world, was committed to creating a level playing field so hard-working athletes can compete against each other fairly.
