By Xinhua

Madrid (Spain) : World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) chief Dick Pound says he wants an audit of all doping tests that US sprinter Marion Jones had passed before she admitted in October to taking performance-enhancing drugs.

Jones, who won five medals including three golds at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, had tested negative for drugs in 160 tests. “It is not much fun to find that someone who has been tested 160 times admits to doping,” Pound, attending the World Conference on Doping in Sport, said Thursday.

“We would like an audit of these tests. What was she tested for, how many in and out-of competition,” Pound said. “I am not happy to hear that someone who had so many tests was a user for so many years.”
