LONDON: The World Anti-Doping Agency said on Monday it is pushing ahead with many reforms recommended by the US Office of National Drug Control Policy but hit back by urging the United States to get its own doping house in order.

"As we detail in this report, some progress has been made in reforming WADA; however, WADA and its stakeholders still have much more work to do" said the ONDCP report. But Banka is also likely to press the United States to get serious about doping at home where he says 90per cent of athletes do not compete under the WADA Code."WADA takes note that the ONDCP recognizes the hard work and considerable progress achieved by the Agency during the past year," said Banka in a statement.

WADA told Reuters that US dues are up to date but that the agency has not heard if the country intends to withhold future contributions.
