The highest body of Spanish sport has called for the resignation of the head of the national anti-doping agency, suspected of irregularities and in particular of having concealed cases of doping. The Superior Sports Council (CSD) announced in a press release published on Friday January 5 that it had transmitted to the judicial authorities the results of an investigation launched following a complaint on “ alleged irregularities in the use of public funds as well as in the control and sanction of doping by CELAD », the Spanish agency for the fight against doping in sport. It will be up to the public prosecutor to decide on possible prosecutions, the CSD said in its press release. But already, its president José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes has asked the director of CELAD, José Luis Terreros, to resign due to “ the damage to the reputation of Spanish sport and our control system “. In case of refusal, the president of the CSD and the Minister of Education and Sports Pilar Alegría “ will propose at the next CELAD board of directors the dismissal of Mr. Terreros ”, who also said “ fully prepared to work loyally with the World Anti-Doping Agency “.
