It’s not nada, but 300,000 euros less as Adidas cuts doping watchdog funding
Berlin — Germany’s National Antidoping Agency (Nada) suffered a blow on Tuesday with Adidas announcing it will cut €300,000 euros of funding by the end of the year. "We have already informed (Nada) that in spring we will no longer provide financial support beyond our existing contract, which runs out at the end of 2016," said Adidas spokesman Oliver Brueggen. "We would like to remain connected to Nada and are therefore in talks on alternative forms of co-operation. "Of course, Adidas will continue to maintain a clear stance in the fight against doping. "In all contracts with our athletes, it’s made clear we will terminate the contractual relationship immediately in the event of a proven doping offence."
