Craig Reedie, the former president of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and vice president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has died at the age of 84. The IOC confirmed his death but did not disclose the cause. Reedie was pivotal in London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympics and played a crucial role in including badminton in the Olympic program for the 1992 Barcelona Games. His tenure at WADA began in 2013, where he confronted significant challenges, notably the Russian doping scandal that emerged from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. Reedie's push for the exclusion of the Russian team from the 2016 Rio Olympics was met with resistance from IOC leadership, highlighting the complexities of Olympic governance. Current IOC president Kirsty Coventry praised Reedie for his lasting contributions to clean sport and athlete development. Tributes from figures like World Athletics president Sebastian Coe emphasized Reedie's mentorship and integrity, with the IOC flag to fly at half-staff for three days in his honor at its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
