World Anti-Doping Agency President Craig Reedie challenged Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to put his money where his mouth is and increase Japan's funding in the fight against doping on Friday.
Abe met International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach earlier this week and pledged to support the IOC's efforts to combat doping at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
But Reedie called on Abe to take a step further, urging the prime minister to increase Japan's current contribution to WADA of $1.5 million a year. WADA currently operates on an annual budget of £23 million ($28 million), which is funded equally between the IOC and national governments.
