00:00It's very hard because it's so complicated with all the individual countries and all their
00:04individual anti-doping agencies. The way it works is obviously you know UCAD would test me
00:10and then I would get an international testing agency. UK anti-doping yeah. Yeah but I'd also
00:15get an international one from the ITA on behalf of water aquatics. We need more international and
00:20we need to decentralize it. We need to get rid of those those governing bodies that are almost a
00:27little bit too suspicious because they're responsible and there's too much trust in those
00:33to do due diligence and to do simple things. We've had so much come out of these countries that
00:39are more than eyebrow raising and is that acceptable? No. We just need people to do their
00:46job and I want to make sure this sport is protected in eight years, 12 years and are we on the right
00:52track at the moment? Absolutely not. So yeah we just need to be firmer and making sure that it's
00:58not as biased as it currently is because you know we know we're doing a job, we know we've
01:03got the education here but are they doing it exactly on a Sunday morning getting tested at
01:076am like I am in China? Who knows? Yeah but these are the questions that all need to be raised and
01:14firmly applied especially after Olympics.
