Oude Granny couldn't resist the headline...But WADA's head, Dick Pound, was recently (and finally) reprimanded by the IOC for his years of commentary against Lance Armstrong.
"According to the IOC's decision, dated Feb. 2, the organization's ethics commission recommended that Pound had "the obligation to exercise greater prudence consistent with the Olympic spirit when making public pronouncements that may affect the reputation of others."
Armstrong lauded the IOC's stance against Pound.
