MONTREAL: The World Anti-Doping Agency said on Tuesday government representatives had proposed Poland's sports minister Witold Banka as its candidate to be the body's next president.
WADA rotates its presidency between representatives from the international sports bodies and governments.

Diaz wanted to increase the number of representatives from countries he feels have less of a say in decisions than they should.
